Using a metric ruler measure a shoe box and a pad of paper . find the volume of each in cubic centimeters. then convert the units to ml. how do i do that?

Ok let me start answering from here ,

SHOE BOX

It has following measurements

It will be in the shape of a CUBE OR CUBOID.

Suppose, length= L cm, Breadth=B cm, and Height= H cm

Volume of box = L×B×H=L B H cubic centimeter [ I.e when it is a Cuboid.]

Let  L =15 cm, B=10 cm $ H=8 cm

Volume = 15×10×8=1200 cubic centimeter

When it is in the shape of a cube,  Length = Breadth =Height= L cm

So Volume=L × L × L= L^3 cubic centimeter

⇒L = B = H= 12 cm

Volume = 12×12×12=1728 cubic centimeter

Now consider a Pad

Following the same Procedure ,

And  If the Pad is in the shape of a cuboid

Then volume of Cuboid( Pad of paper)= L × B × H = L B H cubic centimeter

Let  L =5 cm, B=4 cm $ H=3 cm

Volume = 5×4×3=60 cubic centimeter

And when it is in the shape of Cube then it's Volume = L × L × L= L^3 cubic centimeter

⇒L = B = H= 6 cm

Volume = 6×6×6=216 cubic centimeter

So Where you have written cubic centimeter Replace it by milliliter.

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
