Question

Solid A has a volume of 28 in³. The scale factor of A to B is 1:2. What is the volume of Solid B?

Volume of Solid B = ____________ in³

Answer 1

Answer: 56in³

Explanation:

Let the volume of solid B de denoted as x. Based on the information given in the question, we can solve further by:

1/2 = 28/x

Cross multiply

1 × x = 2 × 28

x = 56

Therefore, the volume of solid is 56in³.
