Question

A rectangular solid is dilated by a factor of 0.5

How many times larger is the volume of the resulting cube than the volume of the original cube
Enter your answer as a decimal and do NOT round

Answer 1

0.125 times larger

Explanation:

given the scale factor of 2 solids is k , then the volume factor = k³

here k = 0.5 , so

volume factor = (0.5)³ = 0.125
