Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area if a traiangle =1/2 × base × height

5 1/10 = 1/2 ×3 2/5 ×h

Change mixed fractions to improper fractions

51/10= 1/2 ×17/5 ×h

51/10 = 17/10×h

Divide 51/10 by the coefficient of h

51/10÷17/5 = h

51/10 ×5/17 = h

3/2 = h

h =1 1/2 inchea

The height of the triangle 1 1/2 inches

the volume of a triangular prism is 42 cubic centimeters. what is the volume of a similar prism that is twice as large as large

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The volume of the similar prism is $336\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

Let

z-----> the scale factor

x----> the volume of the larger prism

y----> the volume of the smaller prism

$z^{3}=\frac{x}{y}$

In this problem we have

$z=2$ -----> the scale factor

$y=42\ cm^{3}$

substitute and solve for x

$x=42(2^{3})=336\ cm^{3}$
