An ancient unit of length called the cubit was equal to six palms, where a palm was the combined width of the four fingers of a hand. suppose an ark similar to the one that noah is said to have built was 450 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 20 cubits high. (take 1 palm to be 0.1 m and give your answers to the correct number of significant figures.) estimate the volume of the ark in cubic meters.

Let us solve for the volume by multiplying all the given dimensions:

V = 450 cubits * 50 cubits * 20 cubits

V = 450,000 cubic cubits = 450,000 cubits^3

We know that: 1 cubit = 6 palms and 1 palm = 0.1 m, therefore:

V = (450,000 cubits^3) * (6 palms / cubits)^3 * (0.1 m / palm)^3

V = 97,200 m^3

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.

40 x 50 = 2000
