The Greek mathematician who wrote the most definitive text on geometry, one that is still referred to today is Euclid. Euclid of Alexandria is also called "Father of Geometry". He was a great Greek mathematician. Euclidean geometry is still widely taught in schools and colleges. I hope the answer comes to your help.
For this case what you need to know is that the original volume of the cookie box is:
V = (w) * (l) * (h)
Where,
w: width
l: long
h: height.
We have then:
V = (w) * (l) * (h) = 48 in ^ 3
The volume of a similar box is:
V = (w * (2/3)) * (l * (2/3)) * (h * (2/3))
We rewrite:
V = ((w) * (l) * (h)) * ((2/3) * (2/3) * (2/3))
V = (w) * (l) * (h) * ((2/3) ^ 3)
V = 48 * ((2/3) ^ 3)
V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3
Answer:
the volume of a similar box that is smaller by a scale factor of 2/3 is:
V = 14.22222222 in ^ 3
The temperature would be about 54.
