Growth rate of odd size object:
Start: 1.5" w by 1.5" l by .25" h
End: 3.25" w by 3.50" l by .25" h
Did this object increase by 600%?
500% roughly
The object increases by 505%
actually, the new volume is 505% of the old volume, so it actually grew by only 405%
Steve, Sam or Salah,
How do you come up with your answers of 500%, 505 405%
Please and Thank you,
Tracy
To determine whether the object increased by 600%, we need to calculate its initial and final volumes.
The volume of a rectangular object can be calculated by multiplying its width, length, and height. Given the dimensions:
Initial Volume = 1.5" (width) * 1.5" (length) * 0.25" (height)
Final Volume = 3.25" (width) * 3.50" (length) * 0.25" (height)
Let's calculate the volumes:
Initial Volume = 1.5 * 1.5 * 0.25 = 0.5625 cubic inches
Final Volume = 3.25 * 3.50 * 0.25 = 2.84375 cubic inches
To determine the percentage increase in volume, we can use the formula:
Percentage Increase = ((Final Volume - Initial Volume) / Initial Volume) * 100
Percentage Increase = ((2.84375 - 0.5625) / 0.5625) * 100
Percentage Increase ≈ 405.56%
Therefore, the object increased in volume by approximately 405.56%, not 600%.
