Problem 7 The edges of the trunk are 3 ft., 4 ft., 6 ft. A second trunk is twice as long; the other edges are 3 ft., 4 ft. How do their volumes compare?
Solution 7
$V_1 = 72 \, \text{ ft}^3$
$V_2 = 3(4)(2 \times 6)$
$V_2 = 144 \, \text{ ft}^3$
$\dfrac{V_2}{V_1} = \dfrac{144}{72}$
$V_2 = 2V_1$
The second is twice as large as the first. answer
