The perimeter , width and length are all one dimensional so the preimeter of the resulting rectangle will be 2.5 * 36 = 90.
The area is 2 dimensional whereas the vase and height are one dimensional so the area will be increased by a factor of 5^2 ( or 25)
New rea = 36*25 = 900
solids are 3 dimensional so the ratio of thereir volumes is 5^3 : 3^3
= 125:27
to answer the last 2 use the formula Volume = pi r^2 h where r = radius and h = height of a cylinder
Answer: The ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
GIven: At the beginning of spring, the ice starts to melt. The variable sss models the ice sheet's thickness (in meters) t weeks after the beginning of spring. 
At t=0, 
So, Thickness of ice sheet at the beginning = 4 meters
Now at t= 6, we get

Thickness of ice sheet after 6 weeks = 2.5 meters
Decrease in thickness = 4 meters - 2.5 meters = 1.5 meters
Hence, the ice sheet's thickness decrease every 6 weeks= 1.5 meters
