Question

A polygon with a volume of 240 cubic units what scale factor would be required to dilate the polygon to 30 cubic units

Answer 1

Answer:

Scale Factor = 1 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:
`Scale\text{ Factor = }\frac{Volume\text{ of the new polygon}}{Volume\text{ of the original polygon}}`

Volume of the new polygon = 30 cubic units

Volume of the original polygon = 240 cubic units

`\begin{gathered} Scale\text{ Factor =}(30)/(240) \\ \\ Scale\text{ Factor = }(1)/(8) \end{gathered}`

Scale Factor = 1 : 8
