A right rectangular prism has edges of 2 1/4 in, 1 1/2 in and 1 1/2 in. How many cubes with lengths of 1/4 in would be needed to

fill the prism? What is the volume?

The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).

The volume of the big one is  (2.25) x (1.5) x (1.5) = <em>5.0625 cubic inches</em>.

The volume of the little one is  (0.25)x(0.25)x(0.25)= 0.015625 cubic inch

The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is

             (Volume of the big one)  divided by (volume of the little one) .

       5.0625 / 0.015625  =  <em>324 tiny cubies</em>

=================================================

Doing it with fractions instead of decimals:

The volume of a rectangular prism is (length) x (width) x (height).
Dimensions of the big one are:

   2-1/4  =  9/4
   1-1/2  =  3/2
   1-1/2  =  3/2

   Volume = (9/4) x (3/2) x (3/2) =
 
                 (9 x 3 x 3) / (4 x 2 x 2)  =

                           81 / 16  cubic inches.

          As a mixed number:    81/16  =  <em>5-1/16 cubic inches</em>

Volume of the tiny cubie = (1/4) x (1/4) x (1/4) =  1/64 cubic inch.   

The number of little ones needed to fill the big one is

             (Volume of the big one)  divided by (volume of the little one) .

                 (81/16) divided by (1/64)  = 

                     (81/16) times (64/1)  = 

                             5,184/16  =  <em>324 tiny cubies</em>.

19. The areas of corresponding faces of two similar hexagonal prisms are 25 cm² and 121 cm². What is the ratios of the correspon
Pie

ANSWER

I) 5:11

ii) 5:11

iii) 125:1331

EXPLANATION

Let the side lengths be in the ratio:

x:y

This implies that the area will be in the ratio:

\frac{ {x}^{2} }{ {y}^{2} }  =  \frac{25}{121}

Take positive square root.

\frac{x}{y}  =  \sqrt{ \frac{25}{121} }

\frac{x}{y}  =  \frac{5}{11}

Hence the sides are in the ratio:

x:y=5:11

The perimeter of the smaller hexagon is 6×5=30

The perimeter of the larger hexagon is 6×11=66

The ratio of the perimeter is

30:66=5:11

The volume will be in the ratio

5³:11³

125:1331

The following statement is false. Rewrite the statement to make it true.
Ksju [112]

we are given

\sum _{n=0}^55n\:

we can see that

n starts from 0 and goes to 5

so, there are 6 terms

that's why this statement is false

so, true statement can be written as
