One <u>possible story</u> is:
I had 5 apples. My sister gave me 7, and now I have 12.
Explanation:
We are writing a story for 5+7=12. This means we need to start with 5 objects and somehow gain 7 more. In our story, we start with 5 apples and we get 7 more.
The last part is that our total must be 12. In our story, we end with 12 apples.
Same as all the other ones like this.
Since the two figures are similar . . .
-- The ratio of of their volumes is R³ .
-- The ratio of their surface areas is R² .
-- The ratio of their dimensions is R .
So R³ is 729 / 2744 .
Take the cube root of that and you'll have R .
Then square R and you'll have the ratio of their surface areas.
It will be 89 because it increases by 4 each time
