The two triangular prisms shown are similar. What is the volume of the larger prism? 36 m2 36 m3 144 m2 144 m3
2 answers:
Answer:
144 m^3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please find attached the image of the prisms
Volume of a triangular prism = area of the base x height of the prism
Area of the base = 1/2 ( base x height)
the two prisms are similar, thus, the dimensions of the bigger rectangle can be gotten from the ratio of the base of the smaller and bigger triangle
ratio of their dimensions = 6 / 1.5 = 4
the dimensions of the bigger triangle is 4 times that of the smaller triangle
height of the base of the prism = 1.5 x 4 = 6
Height of the prism = 2 x 4 = 8
Area of the base of the prism = (1/2) x 6 x 6 = 18 m^2
Volume of the prism = 18 x 8 = 144 m^3

Answer:
$76.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that inflation from last year to this year was 2% and a pair of designer jeans sold for $75 last year. We are asked to find the price of pair of designer jeans this year.
An inflation of 2% will increase the price of pair of jeans by 2%, so price of pair of jeans this year would be $75 plus 2% of $75.
Therefore, the price of pair of jeans would be $76.5 this year.
