Answer:

The volume of the medium box is 8 times the volume of the small box

The volume of the large box is 3.375 times the volume of the medium box

The volume of the large box is 27 times the volume of the small box

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

so

In this problem

1) The scale factor of the small box to the medium box  is equal to

\frac{10}{5} =2

The scale factor elevated to the cube is equal to

2^{3}=8

therefore

The volume of the medium box is 8 times the volume of the small box

2) The scale factor of the medium box to the large box  is equal to

\frac{15}{10} =1.5

The scale factor elevated to the cube is equal to

1.5^{3}=3.375

therefore

The volume of the large box is 3.375 times the volume of the medium box

3) The scale factor of the small box to the large box  is equal to

\frac{15}{5} =3

The scale factor elevated to the cube is equal to

3^{3}=27

therefore

The volume of the large box is 27 times the volume of the small box

Please help with this geometry math problem!
valina [46]

Answer:

∠8 * 4 = ∠7 ----------------(1)

∠8 + ∠7 = 180 ------------(2)

Taking the value of ∠7 from (1) and using it in (2):

<u><em>∠7 = 4 * ∠8</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

∠8 + ∠7 = 180

∠8 + (4 * ∠8) = 180

∠8 + 4∠8 = 180

5∠8 = 180

∠8 = 36° ---------------(3)

Using the value of ∠8 from (3) in (2):

∠8 + ∠7 = 180

36 + ∠7 = 180

∠7 = 144°       and       ∠8 = 36°

Quantity of tickets=4

Price of tickets=x

Discount=12%

This means, you will pay 100% -12%

=88%

Total amount payable=discount (quantity * price)

= 88% ( 4 * x )

= 0.88 (4x)

= 3.52x
