Answer 7

Lets say this box is a cube.

Answer 8

its a rectangular prism

Answer 9

Well it doesn't say so, but to keep the question simpler, we can just make it a cube.

Answer 10

So the volume of a cube = side x side x side

Answer 11

yep

Answer 12

So with what we are given:

180 = side^3

Answer 14

and they want to multiply it by a scale factor of 1/10

Answer 15

they want me 2 scale it down

Answer 16

That means:

\(\sf\Large\frac{side}{10}\times\frac{side}{10}\times\frac{side}{10}=?\)

Answer 17

But we already know that side x side x side is the volume which they gave us as 180

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

So we have:

\(\sf\Large\frac{side}{10}\times\frac{side}{10}\times\frac{side}{10}=\frac{side^3}{10\times10\times10}=\frac{180}{10^3}=?\)

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

can you do the calculation?

Answer 22

?
______
