Answer:
The scale factor is not 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for the dilated triangles
Triangle ABC is dilated through center point O to form triangle A'B'C'.
From the attachment, we have:
i.e. the distance from the center point to C
and
i.e. the distance from the center point to C'
The length of OC' is calculated using:
The scale factor (k) is then calculated by dividing OC' by OC
Hence, Tiffany's claim is incorrect.
Given:
Measure of a cube = 1 unit on each side.
Dimensions of a space 2 units by 3 units by 4 units.
To find:
Number of cubes that can be fit into the given space.
Solution:
The volume of cube is:
Where, a is the side length of cube.
So, the volume of the cube is 1 cubic units.
The volume of the cuboid is:
Where, l is length, w is width and h is height.
Putting , we get
So, the volume of the space is 24 cubic units.
We need to divide the volume of the space by the volume of the cube to find the number of cubes that can be fit into the given space.
Therefore, 24 cubes can be fit into the given space.
