Question

Analyze the diagram below and complete the instructions that follow.

Given that the two rectangular prisms are similar, find the scale factor and the ratio of their surface areas.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

`scale \: factor = (7)/(28) = (1)/(4) \\`

`ratio \:of \:surface \:areas\\</p><p>=(2[5* 7 + 7* 3+3* 5])/(2[20* 28+ 28* 12+12* 20] )\\\\</p><p>=([35 + 21+15])/([560+ 336+240] )\\\\</p><p>=(71)/(1136)\\\\</p><p>=(1)/(16)\\\\</p><p>= 1\: :\: 16`
