Answer:
648 \text{ cube cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

When two solid figures are similar then,


\text{ The ratio of their volume }= (\text{ ratio of their corresponding edges})^3

Here Given prism having volume
V_1 and
V_2 are similar,

Thus, By the given figure,


( V_2)/(24)= ((12)/(4))^3


( V_2)/(24)= (3)^3


( V_2)/(24)= 27


V_2= 27* 24=648\text{ cube cm}

First Option is correct.

Answer: Option 1


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know the lenght of both rectangular prism, therefore if both are similar, the scale factor is:


sf=(12cm)/(4cm)\\sf=3

2. Then the scale factor of the volumes is:


sf_v=3^(3)\\sf_v=27

3. Now, you must multiply the volume of the smalller rectangular prism by the scale factor obtained, then you obtain the following result:


V_2=(24cm^(3))(27)=648cm^(3)
