Answer:

<em>The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.</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 for example, when representing geographic locations on a map.

A model ship is built to a scale of 1 cm: 5 m. This means that each centimeter of the model represents an actual length of 5 m.

The length of the model is 25 cm, thus the real ship has a length of 25*5 = 125 m.

The length of the actual ship is 125 meters.

Well well we find the area of the triangle first:
area = 1/2 * base * height
area = 1/2 * 8 1/4 * 5 3/4
area = 1/2 * 33/4 * 23/4
area = 1/2 * 759/16
area = 759 / 32
area = 23 23/32

now if we multiply the length of the triangles we get volume because the volume of the prism is really just the sum of the areas of all the triangles that make up it's length. So:
volume = 23 23/32 * 12
volume = 276 276/32
276/ 32 = 8 5/8
volume = 284 5/8
