Question

Cliff is constructing two similar boxes shaped as similar rectangular prisms. The smaller box has a height of 15 inches and a square base of side length 12 inches.

If the larger box has a height of 20 inches, what is its volume?

1620 cubic inches
3840 cubic inches
5120 cubic inches
6400 cubic inches

Answer 1

5120 Cubic inches. Since smaller box has height of 15 and the larger box has 20, it means that the it is 3/4 and if 12 is 3, 16 is 4 so 16^2 since it's side length and I got 256 and I multiplied that number to 2o and I got 5120. Check it.

Answer 2

thats correct
