Answer:

Explanation:

The ratio of the sides is the same as the one-to-one measure of the similar figures. To get to the ratio of their areas, square the one-to-one values. To get to the ratio of their volumes, cube the one-to-one values.

If the one-to-one is 3:7, then the ratio of their volumes is

3³:7³ which is 27:343
