Question

Find the percent increase in volume when 1 foot is added to each dimension of the prism. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent. Percent increase ≈ %

Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage increase in volume of the prism is impossible to find. This is because the current dimension or the diagram from which the dimension of the prism could be determined is not given.

However I will explain the methods to follow in finding this percentage increase, assuming that the current dimension of the prism is given.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the volume the of prism is x ft³. After adding 1 ft to each dimension, the volume becomes y ft³.

The percentage increase = (y/x) × 100

= z%

That is,

Percentage increase = [(New volume) ÷ (Old volume)] × 100

The resulting value, z% is the percentage increase.
