Answer:

Therefore the maximum number of cubic meters in the new birdcage will be 1.6875

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5625/0.5=1.125

1.125•1.5=1.687

Answer:

1.6875 cubic metres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ranee builds a birdcage for her parrot

Shape - square pyramid

Volume of bird cage = Area of base square x height

height = 0.5 m, and volume =0.5625 cubic metres

Hence 0.5625=0.5xArea of base square

Area of base square=0.5625/0.5 =0.1125

NOw when height become 1.5 m, new volume would be

Area of base square x new height

0.1125(1.5) = 1.6875 cubic metres.
