Volume of a figure is measure of the space it occupies. The volume of the larger rectangular prism is given as: Option C: 1620 cm³

<h3>How to calculate volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

If a rectangular prism has dimensions <u>a</u> unit, <u>b</u> unit, and <u>c</u> units, then its volume is given as

V = a \times b \times c \: \rm unit^3

<h3>What are similar figures?</h3>

They are scaled. It means, if two figures are similar, then we can get one figure from another by multiplying some constant value(same for one pair of similar figure) to its dimensions.

For example,

if for given case, one rectangular prism has got dimensions a, b, and c centimetres, then

the second rectangular prism, which is similar, let the scale factor is 'd',t then second prism's dimensions will be a x d units, b x d units, and  c x d units.

For first prism(smaller), its one side is given to be 5 cm, let its other two sides be 'b' cm, and 'c' cm, then,

60 \: \rm cm^3 = 5\times b\times c \\\\b\times c = \dfrac{60}{5} = 12

Now, the larger prism has 15 cm corresponding side, thus, scale factor was 3 (since 15 is 3 times 5).

Thus, its dimensions would be 15, 3 x b, 3 x c

Thus, its volume would be

15 \times 3 \times b \times 3 \times c = 135 \times  b\times c = 135 \times 12 = 1620 \: \rm cm^3

Thus,

The volume of the larger rectangular prism is given as: Option C: 1620 cm³

find the column which has products that are the sum of the yellow shaded numbers in each row Shaded the column what pattern do y
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

They are even numbers (divisible by two)

Step-by-step explanation:

The number column starts from 2 and is incremented by two for every number in the column. The remainder of the division of each number in the sequence is zero and the result of the division is sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,7...

Therefore, the numbers in the column are even numbers.

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

band alone 11 

choir alone 17 

band and choir alone 4 

band and math alone 7 

math and choir alone 6 

band choir and math 3 

math alone 9 from 11+4+10+6+17 + M = 57 

so 

2 classes = 4+7+6 = 17

17 students take exactly two classes with Mr. Green
