To find the volume of the new rectangular prism that is similar to the original prism, we first need to calculate the volume of the original rectangular prism, and then we can apply the scale factor.
Step 1: Calculate the volume of the original rectangular prism.
The formula for the volume \( V \) of a rectangular prism is:
\[
V = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height}
\]
Given:
- Length = 5 cm
- Width = 6 cm
- Height = 4 cm
Now, calculate the volume:
\[
V = 5 , \text{cm} \times 6 , \text{cm} \times 4 , \text{cm} = 120 , \text{cm}^3
\]
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the new rectangular prism using the scale factor.
The scale factor for the dimensions of the new prism is given as 12.
The volume of similar rectangular prisms changes by the cube of the scale factor. Therefore, the volume of the new rectangular prism \( V' \) can be calculated by:
\[
V' = (k^3) \times V
\]
where \( k \) is the scale factor.
So in this case:
\[
V' = (12^3) \times 120 , \text{cm}^3
\]
Calculating \( 12^3 \):
\[
12^3 = 1728
\]
Now, calculate \( V' \):
\[
V' = 1728 \times 120 , \text{cm}^3 = 207360 , \text{cm}^3
\]
Conclusion:
The volume of the new rectangular prism is 207360 cm³.
