Question

A tank hold a volume of 32m3 what is the new volume of an enlarged tank of the scale factor is 5 ?

Answer 1

The new volume of an enlarged tank is 4000m³

Explanation:

The scale factor has to be multiplied by the width, length and height so we will have to multiply it 3 times

h * w * l = 32 m³

(h*5) * (w*5) * (l*5)

if we rearrange the multiplications

(h * w * l) * 5 *5 * 5 =

v * 5 * 5 * 5 =

32m³ * 5 *5 *5 = 4000m³
