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

Answer: 3 : 1
