Question

SCALE

The two containers are mathematically similar in shape.
The larger container has a volume of 3456 cm3 and a surface area of 1024 cm2.
The smaller container has a volume of 1458 cm3.
Calculate the surface area of the smaller container.

Answer 1

1458/3456 = 27/64 (simplification)

cube root of 27/64 = 3/4

square of 3/4 = 9/16

9/16 multplied by 1024 = 576.
