Question

the solid below is dilated by a scale factor of 1/4. find the volume of the solid created upon dilation.

Answer 1

We will have the following:

We find the new dimensions first:

`\begin{gathered} l=(10)/(4) \\ \\ w=1 \\ \\ h=(10)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Now, the new volume will be:

`V=((10)/(4))(1)((10)/(4))\Rightarrow V=6.25`

So, the volume is 6.25 cubic units.
