Question

A prism is dilated by a factor of 1.5. How many times larger is the volume of the resulting prism than the volume of the original prism? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

3.375

The other answer is way better! I am just confirming that this answer is correct! :D

Answer 2

By the term dilated we mean to say that the dimensions of the new polyhedron is increase to a certain size by that times. For the volume, this dilation scale should be cubed in order to determine the number of times the volume of new figure is larger than the original.
r = (1.5)³
= 3.375
Thus, the volume of the new prism is 3.375 times larger than the volume of the original prism.
