Answer:
Part A) The scale factor is
The dimensions of the larger rectangular prism are
Part B) The volume of the smaller rectangular prism is
Part C) The volume of the enlarged rectangular prism is
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
we know that
If the dimensions of the prism are doubled, then the scale factor is equal to
so
To find the dimensions of the larger rectangular prism, multiply the scale factor by the dimensions of the smaller rectangular prism
Part B) What is the volume of the smaller rectangular prism?
we know that
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to
we have
substitute the values
Part C) What is the volume of the enlarged rectangular prism?
we know that
The volume of a rectangular prism is equal to
we have
substitute the values
Remember that
If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube
Let
z------> scale factor
x-----> volume of the enlarged prism
y-----> volume of the smaller prism
so
we have
substitute
---> is ok
