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

Find the 50th term of the sequence 5,-2,-9,-16 ,,,
Mademuasel [1]
Common difference is -2-5 = -7
first term is 5

a_50 = 5 -7(50-1) = -338

2) d = 3 - (-7) = 10
 a = -7

a_110 = -7 + 10(110 - 1) = 1083

d = -27 - (-22) = -5

second -7 - 5=  -12
third = -12 - 5 = -17

Juanita has 3 rectangular cards that are 8 inches by 9 inches. How can she arrange the cards, without overlapping, to make one l
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  

  • 3 rectangular cards
  • each card is 8 inches by 9 inches

The way that she can arrange the cards, without overlapping, to make one larger polygon with the smallest possible perimeter is that:

Put 3 cards together according to the length

So  the smallest possible perimeter is:

8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 = 66 inches as you can see in the attached photo.

The area of the polygon is equal to the combined area of the 3 cards without overlapping or extending.

Hope it can find you well.
