Question

The dimensions of a rectangular shipping crate are $2.5 \text{ ft}$, $2.5 \text{ ft}$, and $4 \text{ ft}$. If there were a similar shipping crate with a scale factor of 3, what would be the volume of the new shipping crate?📝 Responses (Options)( ) $25 \text{ ft}^3$( ) $75 \text{ ft}^3$( ) $675 \text{ ft}^3$

Answer 1

Scale factor 3 multiplies volume by 3^3 = 27. Original volume = 2.5·2.5·4 = 25 ft^3. New volume = 25·27 = 675 ft^3.

Answer: 675 ft^3.
