Question

What is the volume of the larger solid?

Answer 1

@AccessDenied

Answer 2

this looks like a proportion problem? or geometry?

Answer 3

I tried as a proportion but it was wrong . It is geometry

Answer 4

then can you tell me what the figure is it? is it a cube?

Answer 5

i think its a cube

Answer 6

no...looks like rectangular prism

Answer 7

ohh...

Answer 8

If it was a cube, then s^3 = 825
But cube root of 825 is not 5.

Answer 9

so find the height of the first solid...

Volume = side x side x height
875 = 5 x 5 x height

find height

Answer 10

i assume the the ratio of the heights is proportional to the ratio of the sides

Answer 11

how do i find the height

Answer 12

875 = 25 h

Answer 13

solve for h

Answer 14

35

Answer 15

so the proportion would be

5:10 = x: 35

Answer 16

can you solve for x now?

Answer 17

17.5?

Answer 18

so find V2 by 10 x 10 x 17.5

Answer 19

1750 ?

Answer 20

that's it!

did i do it right @AccessDenied ?

Answer 21

It cant be , i tried that answer already but it did not work But thanks anyways

Answer 22

oh

Answer 23

My mind is thinking similar figures, which means we use the similarity ratio of 1:2.
That makes the volume ratio 1^3:2^3, or 1:8. 875/x = 1/8; x = 875*8

Unfortunately, I don't see enough information that actually supports this claim, its more of an assumption.

Answer 24

that works for me . I will try 7000 for my answer

Answer 25

Hmm.. it was correct?

It would've been more clear if they had stated similarity between the figures, if so. D:

Answer 26

yes, you're a genius.
