Two prisms are similar with a scale factor of 1:4. Find the volume of the smaller prism given that the volume of the larger is 2400ft3.

Respuesta :

The Volume of the smaller prism is 37.5 ft³.

What is a Prism?

Prism is a three-dimensional structure that has identical polygon bases, and other faces are identical parallelograms.

The volume of the prism is determined by the formula

V = Bh

B is the base area and h is the height of the Prism.

The scale factor is given as 1/4, as the volume of the larger prism is given.

The volume of the larger prism is 2400 ft³

the side lengths will be multiplied by 1/4

Let the base area is for the larger prism the area for the smaller prism will be equal to

A = (1/16) a

The height of the larger prism is h.

Height of the smaller prism will be (1/4)h

The volume of the smaller prism = (1/16)*(1/4) Volume of the Larger Prism

The volume of the smaller prism = 2400 / (16*4)

The volume of the smaller prism = 37.5 ft³.
