Question

A classmate says that a rectangular prism that is 6 cm long, 8 cm wide, and 15 cm high is similar to a rectangular prism that is 12 cm long, 14 cm wide, and 21 cm high. Explain your classmate's error.

Answer 1

I think you could try to multiply all three of the first prism and then multiply all three of the second prism. Then you can compare both of them to each other, and there will be a difference.
