A
B
The volume of A is 400 cm.
+
Work out the volume of B.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m assuming that A has a side of 15 cm and has a volume of 400 cm.

Using our volume formula:

(15/10)^3 = (400/x)

(3/2)^3 = 400/x        <— simplify

27/8 = 400/x

27x = 3200

so the volume of B is 3200/27 or about 118.52cm^3

(if I assumed the wrong side lengths please tell me!)
