If the length and width of a rectangular solid are increased by 10% and the height is increased by 20%, by what percent is the volume of the solid increased

Respuesta :

LWH=V

increasse by 10% means times 1.10
increase by 20% is times 1.20



L turns to 1.1L
W turns to 1.1W
H turns to 1.2H

(1.1L)(1.1W)(1.2H)=1.452LWH
so it is increased by 45.2%

The percent by the volume of the rectangle solid increased  45.2%  .

What is volume of rectangular solid?

The volume of the rectangular solid is equal to the area of the base times its height. Therefore, the volume of a rectangular solid formula is given as. The volume of a rectangular solid = Length x Width x Height cubic units

According to the question

Let length of triangle = L

Breath of triangle = B

Height of triangle = H

Now ,

Volume of rectangle = Length x Width x Height

                                   = LBH

If the length and width of a rectangular solid are increased by 10% and the height is increased by 20%

Therefore

length of new triangle = 1.1L

Breath of new triangle = 1.1B

Height of new triangle = 1.2H

therefore ,

Volume of new rectangle = Length x Width x Height

                                   = 1.1L*1.1B*1.2H

                                   = 1.452 LBH

Now,

percent by the volume of the rectangle solid increased  

= [tex]\frac{ 1.452 LBH - LBH}{LBH} * 100[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{0.452LBH}{LBH} *100[/tex]

= 45.2%  

Hence, The percent by the volume of the rectangle solid increased  45.2%  .
