354.38 140.0 236.25 157.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if they r similar, shouldn't the ratios be the same? or, couldn't u just do a proportion to see what is the answer?

OpenStudy (callisto):

Volume of prism A \((V_A)\) = 5 x 6 x 7 =... (Ratio of sides)^3 = ratio of volume \[(\frac{6}{9})^3 = \frac{V_A}{V_B}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

VA is 210

OpenStudy (callisto):

Sorry... \(V_A\) = [(6x7)/2] x5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 105

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 354.38

OpenStudy (callisto):

:) Right
