Question

The ratio between the volumes of two cubes is 125 to 216. what is the ratio between their respective surface areas?

Answer 1

Volume = s^3

Square 1: s = 5
Square 2: s = 6

Surface Area for a Cube = 6s^2

SA of Square 1: 6(5)^2 = 6(25) = 150
SA of Square 2: 6(6)^2 = 6(36) = 216

The ratio between the surface area of the two cubes is 150 to 216
