Question

The triangular prism has a volume of 27 cubic units.What will be the volume of the prism if each side is dilated by a factor One-third?

Answer 1

V = 1 cubic unit

Explanation:

V2=
`k^3` x V1

V2: Volume of the triangular prism.

V1: Original volume of the triangular prism

k: scale factor.

so:

V2=
`(1/3)^3` x
`(27)`

V2=1/27 x (27)

V2= 1
