Question

Find the volume of the larger solid given the information below.

V =125 m^3
V = ? m^3

SA = 200 m^2
SA = 288 m^2

Answer 1

The volume of the larger solid can't be determined with the information provided.

This is because you only know the volume and surface area of one solid, but you don't know the shape or dimensions of either solid. The volume and surface area are not enough to determine the shape, size or the volume of the larger solid.

In general, the relationship between the volume and the surface area of a solid is dependent on the shape of the solid. For example, a cube has a constant ratio of surface area to volume, while a sphere has a different ratio. So, knowing the surface area alone doesn't allow us to calculate the volume.
