Volume= Length * width ( aka Base ) * height
Break up the figure into easier figures, a small square and a bigger square.
Small square- 3*2*1 = 6 cm
Large Square- 7*6*1 = 42 cm
42 + 6 = 48 cm. But wait! You have to take one more step, which is minus-ing 6 from 48. Why? Notice that there is a little area where a side of the small square meets the bigger square. That little area is worth 3 cm ( length is 3, height is 1 cm ) times 2 ( 3 cm is one side, another 3 cm is the other side from the other square ) = 6 cm.
Your total answer should be 42. ( or 48, if your teacher doesn't count the area where the squares meet/join together ).
The ratio of building heights will be the same as the ratio of shadow lengths.
(taller building)/(shorter building) = (longer shadow)/(shorter shadow)
(taller building)/(84 ft) = (110 ft)/(46 ft) . . . . . . fill in the given numbers
(taller building) = (84 ft)*(110/46) ≈ 200.9 ft . . multiply by 84 ft, evaluate
The appropriate selection is
D) 200.9 ft
Yes your answers are correct
633,248.
The difference of each 3 is that they have different place values.
The 3 on the right side is int he 1000s (thousands) place, and the 3 on the left is in the 10,000s (ten thousands) place. :)
The one in the 10,000s place is 10 times larger than the one in the 1,000s place!
