Answer:

5.3\ ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Similar shapes with scale factor k have proportional volumes with coefficient k^3 i.e.

\dfrac{V_{large}}{V_{small}}=k^3,

where

k=\dfrac{\text{width of large prism}}{\text{width of small prism}}.

Since

\text{width of large prism}=51\ ft,\\ \\\text{width of small prism}=17\ ft,

then

k=\dfrac{51}{17}=3.

Hence,

\dfrac{144}{V_{small}}=3^3\Rightarrow V_{small}=\dfrac{144}{27}=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}\approx 5.3\ ft^3.

2) Larger triangle is twice as large as the smaller one so x is 16
3) 16/12.8= 1.25 (This is the scale factor)
for y: 10/1.25=8
for x: 30/1.25=16
4) 8/6.4=1.25 (Scale factor)
for y: 14/1.25=11.2
for x: 15/1.25= 12
5) 22.5/9= 2.5 (scale factor)
for x: 12x2.5=30
for y: 35/2.5= 14
6) No because the scale factor is 2 but 14/8 does not equal to 2
