Question

A rectangular prism has a length of 4.2 cm, a width of 5.8 cm, and a height of 9.6 cm. A similar prism has a length of 14.7 cm, a width of 20.3 cm, and a height of 33.6 cm. The dimensions of the smaller prism are each multiplied by what factor to produce the corresponding dimensions of the larger prism?

Answer 1

its (c) 3 1/2

Explanation:

Answer 2

They are each multiplied by a factor of 3.5
You can calculate this by taking the length of the similar prism and divide it with the first prism 14.7/4.2 = 3.5
Do this with the width and height to be sure
20.3/5.8 = 3.5
33.6/9.6 = 3.5
