a 250 ml container of fruit drink measures 6.5cm by 4cm by 10cm. the tcarton manufacturer would like to do design a 1L box with each dimension...

If the volume is increased by the same amount, then the
designed volume is 250ml+250ml = 500ml. Then the tarcton has to increase the dimensions
by a factor x. So the container dimension is 6*6x, 4x and
10x.


Since both shapes are similar,the volumes 250 ml and
500 ml  are proportional to the measures 6.5 by 4 by 6.5x by 4x by
10x


 250 ml =k*6.5*4*10..........(1)
and


500ml = k(6.5x)(4x)(10x).........(2)., where k is the
constant of proportionality.


We eliminate k  by dividing eq
(1) by eq (2):


250/500 =
k6.5*4*10/(k*6.5x*4x*10x)


1/2 =
1/x^3


Nultiply by 2x^3.


x^3 =
2


x = 2^(1/3) =
1.25992105


Therefore the  dimensions to be designed by the
manufacturer =


(6.5x , 4x , 10x) = 8.195 , 5.0397 ,
12.5992)

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
