Question

The two hexagonal pyramids are simila

If the smaller pyramid has a surface area of 25.49 ft.
what is the surface area of the larger pyramid? Round
to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The approximate surface area of the larger pyramid is 159.31 ft².

Explanation:

A pyramid is a solid,

And, When two solids are similar then the ratio of their surface area is the square of the scale factor of similarity.

Here, the scale factor of similarity

Thus, by the above property,

It is given that, the smaller pyramid has a surface area of 25.49 ft²,
