Question

Pyramid A is similar to Pyramid B. If the

surface area of Pyramid A is 1,568 m2 and the
surface area of Pyramid B is 32 m2, how many
times smaller is Pyramid B than Pyramid A?

Answer 1

Pyramid A is 20.40 times smaller than pyramid B.

Explanation:

It is given surface area of pyramid A is
`A_A=1.568m^2`

Surface area of pyramid B is
`A_B=32m^2`

We have to find that how many times pyramid A is smaller than pyramid B

For this we have to divide surface area of pyramid B by surface area of pyramid A

Therefore ,

`(A_B)/(A_A)=(32)/(1.568)=20.40`

So pyramid A is 20.40 times smaller than pyramid B.
