Cindy works at Jurassic Park and has been tasked to design a container in the shape of a
rectangular prism for the incoming baby dinosaurs. The scaled model of the container has
dimensions 2m by 4m by 6m. Cindy has decided to increase each dimension of the scaled model
by the same amount in order to produce a container with a volume of 84 times the volume of the
scale model. By what amount should Cindy increase each dimension of the scaled model?

The amount Cindy should increase for each dimension of the scaled model will be 12 meters.

The scale factor is defined as the proportion of the new image's size to that of the previous image. decision-making.

Given that:-

The scaled model of the container has dimensions of 2m by 4m by 6m. Cindy has decided to increase each dimension of the scaled model by the same amount in order to produce a container with a volume of 84 times the volume of the scale model.

The scale model will be solved as follows:-

Present volume = 2 x 4 x 6 = 48 cubic meters

Let the lengths be increased by x meters now the new volume will be:-

( 2 + x ) ( 4 + x ) ( 6 + x ) = 48 x 84

( x² + 6x + 8 ) ( 6 + x ) = 48 x 84

( x³ + 44x + 12x² - 3984 ) = 0

By solving the cubic equation we will get the value of x = 12 meters.

Therefore the amount Cindy should increase for each dimension of the scaled model will be 12 meters.
