Question

solid a is similar to solid b if the volume of solid a is 3240m3 and the volume of solid b is 15m3 find the ratio of the surface are of solid a to solid b

Answer 1

36:1

Explanation:

If the ratio of corresponding edge lengths is a:b, then the ratio of corresponding surface areas is a²:b², and the ratio of volumes is a³:b³.

a³/b³ = 3240/15

a³/b³ = 216/1

The ratio of the volumes is 216:1.

a/b = 6/1

a²/b² = 36/1
