Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!! also, show all work Thank you:)

Answer 1

Problem 1

Answer:  104 cubic inches

----------------------

Explanation:

The prisms are similar so they have the same shape, but different sizes.

The linear scale factor from small to large is:

large/small = 10/4 = 2.5

Meaning that we multiply each dimension of the smaller prism by 2.5 to get the corresponding side length of the larger prism

4*2.5 = 10

This linear scale factor is then cubed to get the volume scale factor

(2.5)^3 = 15.625

Which tells us:

larger volume = 15.625*(smaller volume)

smaller volume = (larger volume)/15.625

smaller volume = (1625)/15.625

smaller volume = 104 cubic inches

========================================================

Problem 2

Answer:  650 square inches

----------------------

Explanation:

We will go back to the linear scale factor of 2.5

This time, we square it to get (2.5)^2 = 6.25

This is the surface area scale factor.

larger surface area = 6.25*(smaller surface area)

larger surface area = 6.25*(104)

larger surface area = 650 square inches
