Answer:

The volume increased 27 times of its original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, i have attached an image that it represents the form of a triangular prism.

So, if we use the same variables from the image, the values of each one are:

H=6 cm\\b=4 cm\\h=8cm

In order to determine the volume of a triangular prism, we need to determine the area of the triangular face of the triangular prism.

<u>The area of the triangular face</u> is:

A_t_r_i_a_n_g_l_e=\frac{b*h}{2}

Then, the area of the triangular face is multiplying by the length of the triangular prism, H, to get its volume:

V=A_t_r_i_a_n_g_l_e*H=\frac{b*h}{2}*H\\ V=\frac{6cm*4cm}{2}*8cm= 96cm^3

If all dimensions are tripled, the <em>new volume</em> is:

V=\frac{3*b*3*h}{2}*3*H\\ V=\frac{3*6cm*3*4cm}{2}*3*8cm=2592 cm^3

Finally, if we divide the <em>new volumen</em> by the <em>original volume</em>, the value is:

\frac{2592}{96}= 27

It means that the original volume increased 27 times.

Im assuming the base of the triangle is 4cm. The volume is 96cm^{3}. 
If the dimensions are tripled, the base is 12, the height is 24, and the length is 18. The volume is  2592cm^{3}, which is 27 times bigger.
If you are increasing each side by a factor of x, you are multiplying the original by x^{3}

Complete Question

In your biology class, your final  grade is based on several things: a lab score, scores on two major tests, and your score on the final exam. There are 100 points available for each score. However, the lab score is worth 25% of your total grade, each major test is worth 22:5%, and the final exam is worth 30%. Compute the weighted average for the following scores: 92 on the lab, 81 on the first major test, 93 on the second major test, and 85 on the final exam. (Enter your answer to one decimal place)

Answer:

The weighted average is  W = 87.65

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The worth of the lab score is  25% of total grade

  The worth of each major  test is   22.5% of total grade

   The worth of final exam is  30% of total grade

The  score on lab is  92

The score on first major test 81

The score on second major test 93

 The score on final  exam is  85

Generally the weighted score is mathematically represented as

     W = 0.25 *  92 + 0.225* 81 + 0.225* 93 +0.30 * 85

=> W = 0.25 *  92 + 0.225* 81 + 0.225* 93 +0.30 * 85

=> W = 87.65
