Answer:
3 : 1
Explanation:
volume = length * width * height
The volume of the solid as it is shown is:
volume = 10 m * 6 m * 10 m = 600 m^3
old volume = 600 m^3
Now we triple the length.
The length becomes 3 * 10 m = 30 m
The new volume is:
volume = length * width * height
volume = 30 m * 6 m * 10 m = 1800 m^3
new volume = 1800 m^3
ratio of new volume to old volume = 1800 m^3 : 600 m^3
Divide both sides of the ratio by 600 m^3.
Ratio = 3 : 1
