REFLECTIONS

Answer the following questions:

You must show all steps and provide any evidence needed in your solution to receive full credit.
The theme park company is building a scale model of the killer whale stadium main show tank for an investor's presentation. Each dimension will be made 6 times smaller to accommodate the mock-up in the presentation room. How many times smaller than the actual volume is the volume of the mock-up?
  If all the dimensions scale by a factor of k , then the volume scales by a factor of k^3k 3

If all linear dimensions are 6 times smaller then that means we take 6 to the third power which is 216. The mock up would be 216 times smaller.
Using the information from #4, answer the following question by filling in the blank: The volume of the actual tank is 21,600% of the mock-up of the tank
216*100=21,600
 
 
If you were to take a cross section parallel to the base of one of the holding tanks, how would you describe the shape? The shape would form a sphere.

  1. For the last question wouldn't the cylinder for the holding tank be cut in half vertically so if you took a cross section parallel to the base wouldn't it be a have circle left.
