help me out please!!!!
What's your question?
The scale factor of two similar rectangular prisms is 1/5. The surface area of the larger prism is 3125 m2. Solve for the area of the smaller prism
please:(
undeadknight26?
it would be 125 m^2
you've helped me out again babixz101! thanks sooo much:)
You're very welcome! Let me know if you need anymore help! :)
um... could you explain how to do this so I can finish the assignment/.\
thank you:)
Yeah, haha. I divided 3125 by 5 since the smaller prism was 1/5 the size of the larger one. After dividing I got 125 m^2 :)
ok so could you walk me through my next one? then I can finish the rest of the assignment. :)
Sure what do you have to do?
The scale factor of two similar triangular prisms is 2. The volume of the smaller prism is 52 yd3. What is the volume of the larger prism? so first I would divide 52 and 2?
No, whatever the linear scale factor you square it for area and cube it for volume. Volume of the larger prism = 2^3 x 52 = 8 x 52 = 416 cubic yards . That's pretty much it! :)
I didn't really have to walk you through it because all you have to do is write down the equation. haha :)
oh! im not the smartest as you can see. thanks:)
Haha, I'm not that smart either. :p I'm good with equations, but bad with everything else! haha. You're welcome! By any chance do you know what permutations are? :)
a permutation is a way a set of numbers are arranged. need some help with them?
Yeah, haha. I have to solve one, but I have no idea how. It's 6C3. Can you explain how to solve it?
