Question

A solid with volume 8 cubic units is dilated by a scale factor of k to obtain a solid with volume V cubic units. Find the value of k which results in an image with each given volume.216 cubic units

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

Volume = 8 cubic units

The solid was dilated by a scale factor of k

The volume of the solid after dilation = V cubic units

The new volume is 216 cubic units

To get the scale factor, we will calculate it thus:
