The volume of a prism is 45 yd3. What would change if the volume of the prism were measured in cubic feet? A.The volume of the prism would decrease. B.The volume of the prism would increase. C.The volume of the prism stays the same, but the number representing the volume increases. D.The volume of the prism stays the same, but the number representing the volume decreases.

wat do you think, suppose you're 6 ft tall, does your height change if you measure it with a inches tape or with a cm tape ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i would still be 6 feet tall

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes, your height stays same, but when u measure it in cm, the number representing your height may increase

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok lets get back to the original question :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wat do you think the answer is.. remember, volume is just the space inside prism.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

perfect !!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

volume stay same, but the number represting volume increases, cuz 1 yard = 3 feet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me on another one so i can make sure i understand it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sure :)

The volume of a cube is 512 cm3. What would change if the volume of the cube were measured in cubic meters?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

tell me wat u think :) keep this in mind, 100cm = 1 meter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The number of cubic units would decrease

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes! cuz cm are less than meter. and volume stays same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you knw this :- 1 dozen eggs = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes :), can u answer me this q :- if there are 12 eggs, how wud the count change if you count the eggs in dozens ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand the q

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its okay :) lol i dint phrase it well... forget it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

:D

how would i workout this q The rectangular prism shown has a volume of 72 m3. This prism is enlarged using a scale factor of 3. What is the volume of the enlarged prism? A. 75 m3 B. 216 m3 C. 648 m3 D. 1944 m3

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

volume = lbh = 72 --------(1)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

when u enlarge it wid a scalefactor of 3, you're multiplying each dimension wid 3. so, new volume = (3l)(3b)(3h) =3^3 lbh =27 x 72 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1944

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=D

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Which shows the dimensions of two rectangular prisms that have volumes of 320 mm3 but different surface areas? A. 16 mm by 5 mm by 4 mm; 5 mm by 4 mm by 16 mm B. 10 mm by 4 mm by 6 mm; 6 mm by 10 mm by 4 mm C. 8 mm by 10 mm by 4 mm; 10 mm by 8 mm by 4 mm D. 8 mm by 10 mm by 4 mm; 20 mm by 8 mm by 2 mm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

easy, find the volume and surface area for each of them

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to find volume, just multiply given dimensions : volume = l x b x h

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to find surface area, use below formula :- area = 2(lb + bh + hl)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nopes, all A, B, C have same surface area and volumes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

only D doesnt have same surface area, eventhough volume is same. check once ok
