Question
A cuboid measuring 3 cm by 5 cm by 2 cm is enlarged by a ratio of 2:1, a) What is the volume of: i) the original cuboid? ii) the enlarged cuboid? b) By what ratio has the volume been increased?
Solution
VerifiedStep 1
1 of 2Multiply the three dimensions of the cuboid by the given ratio, the dimensions of the enlarged cuboid are:
And,
Since the volume of the cuboid is the production of its three dimensions, so:
- The volume of the original cuboid is:
- The volume of the enlarged cuboid is:
Divide the volume of the enlarged cuboid by the volume of the original cuboid:
So, the volume was enlarged by a ratio
