Answer:
1:27 (D)
Explanation:
Given:
Sphere A has a diameter of 2
Sphere A is dilated to create sphere B
Scale factor = 3
Volume of a sphere = 4/3 πr³
Radius = r = diameter/2 = 2/2
r = 1
Volume of sphere A = 4/3 ×π(1)³
Volume of sphere A = 4/3 × π
Volume of sphere B = 4/3 πR³
Since the diameter was dilated, the diameter of B = diameter of A × scale factor
diameter of B = 2×3 = 6
Radius of B = R = diameter/2 = 3
Volume of sphere B = 4/3 × π(3)³
Volume of sphere B = (4/3)(27)π
Ratio of the volume of sphere A to volume of sphere B
= [4/3 ×π]: [(4/3)(27)π]
= (4π/3)/[(4π/3)×27] = 1/27
= 1:27
