@misty1212

OpenStudy (phi):

what do you divide the side of prism A by to get the side of prism B ?

OpenStudy (igreen):

First we find the scale factor..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

length and width and that would be 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Formula is V = Ah but when dividing its V/lw = lwh/lw

OpenStudy (igreen):

Sorry I meant 6 / 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that correct

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, now multiply 0.5 * 4320

OpenStudy (igreen):

4320 is the volume of the bigger rectangular prism.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you multiplied?

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, multiply 0.5 * 4320

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean to get 4320

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the answer for that would be 2160

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm just wondering how you got 4320

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, 2160 is our answer.

OpenStudy (igreen):

And 4320 came from the volume of the bigger rectangular prism, it gives you it in the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see so 6/12=0.5 x 4320 = 2160
