Question

A movie theater sells popcorn in bags that open to form similar prisms, as shown. The large bag has a volume of 576 cubic inches. What is the volume of the small bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

Can't be determined

Explanation:It can't be determined since there are two sides that you need to find out.

Answer 2

Answer:

432 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the small bag to large bags side lengths is 12/16

if you want to find the small bags volume, set the ratios equal

we know the large bag is 576 cubic inches so the small bag volume is x

12/16 = x/576

cross multiply

16x= 6912

divide by 16

x= 432
