Answer:
Rectangular prism
I chose a box of cereal.
Part 1)List the dimensions of your box. Be sure to include the units (in, cm, ft, etc.).
Length: 20 cm
Width: 8 cm
Height: 32 cm
Part 2).
Describe the shape of the cross-section when the box is cut parallel to the base.
The shape of the cross-section would be a rectangle in dimensions.
20 cm x 8 cm
Part 3)
What is the surface area of the box?
surface area=2*area of the base + perimeter of the base*height
area of the base=20*8=160 cm²
perimeter of the base=2*[20+8]-----> 56 cm
height=32 cm
surface area=2*160+56*32------> 2,112 cm²
the answer part 3) is
2,112 cm²
Part 4)
What is the surface area of the box if it is scaled up by a factor of 10?
we know that
surface area of the larger box =[scale factor]²*surface area original box
scale factor=10
surface area original box=2,112 cm²
so
surface area of the larger box=10²*2,112-----> 211,200 cm²
the answer part 4) is
211,200 cm²
Part 5)
What is the volume of the box?
volume of the box = L*W*H 20*8*32-5,120 cm³
the answer Part 5) is
5,120 cm³
Part 6)
What is the volume of the box if it is scaled down by a factor of 1/10?
we know that
the volume of the smaller box =[scale factor]³volume original box
scale factor=1/10
volume original box=5,120 cm³
so
volume of the smaller box =[1/10]³*5,120 5.12 cm³
the answer part 6) is
5.12 cm³
The length is 6 in., the width is 2 in., and the height is 16 in.
