1. The theme park company is building a scale model of the killer whale stadium main show tank for an investor's presentation. Each dimension will be made 6 times smaller to accommodate the mock-up in the presentation room. How many times smaller than the actual volume is the volume of the mock-up?
2. Using the information from #4, answer the following question by filling in the blank: The volume of the actual tank is ____% of the mock-up of the tank
3. If you were to take a cross section parallel to the base of one of the holding tanks, how would you describe the shape?

Answer 1

This is part of a wider question with less details.

1.

The volume is the function of three dimensions.

The model has each dimension 6 times smaller.

The volume of the model will be:

• 6³ = 216 times smaller

2.

Using the above information we can say that:

• the volume of the actual tank is 216 times greater which is equivalent of 21500%.

3.

No info is given regarding the shape of the tank, so can't answer this.
