The volume of the original prism is given by:
 V1 = (10) * (2) * (h)
 rewriting:
 V1 = 20h
 Where,
 h: height
 The volume of the second prism is given by:
 V2 = (5) * (w) * (h)
 We know that the height is the same.
 As the volume is the same then:
 (5) * (w) * (h) = 20h
 Clearing w we have:
 w = (20/5) = 4 cm
 Answer:
 
The width, in centimeters, of the new prism is:
 
w = 4cm

A micro-photograph of a human hair shows the hair magnified 150 times. If the hair is
stepan [7]

Answer:

<em>The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Scaling</u>

Objects can be represented in a reduced or augmented size by using scaling which is basically multiplying or dividing by a constant factor. We use scaling in several applications of real-life.

The human hair is magnified 150 times by a micro-phtograph. This is the scale factor.

The hair can be seen 2 cm wide in the photograph.

Converting to millimeters, 2 cm = 2*10 = 20 millimeters.

The actual width of the hair is 20 / 150 = 0.13 mm
