Let k be the scale factor relating two similar prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ , such that for corresponding parts of prisms $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$ (for heights, in particular) we have $k= \frac{height\ of \ P_{1} }{height \ of\ P_{2} }$ . In our case $k= \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5}$ .
For surfaces area we have $\frac{Surface \ area \ of \ P_{1} }{Surface \ area \ of \ P_{2}} = k^{2} =( \frac{2}{5} )^{2}= \frac{4}{25}$ .
So, the right answer is 4:25 (choice B)

A rescue helicopter flew from its home base for 35 kilometers on a course of 330 degrees to pick up an accident victim. It then

I've drawn a triangle to represent the journey (see attached.

The angle from Home to Victim to Hospital is:

a = $90 - (360 - 330) = 90- 30 = 60^o$

Using the cos rule, we can solve for the length x:

$a^2 = b^2 +c^2 - 2bccosA
\\x^2 = 35^2+25^2-2(35)(25)cos60
\\x^2 = 1850 - 875
\\x^2 = 975
\\x = \sqrt{975}
\\x = 31.2249...$

Using the cos rule, we can solve for angle b:

$a^2 = b^2 +c^2 - 2bccosA
\\35^2 = 31.22...^2+25^2-2(31.22...)(25)cosb
\\1225 = 975 + 625 - 1561.249...cosb
\\-375 = -1561.249...cosb
\\b = cos^{-1}( \frac{-375}{-1561.249...}) 
\\b = 76.1...$

So the bearing the helicopter has to travel is:

270 - 76.1 = 193.9 degrees (1 dp)

And the distance it travels is 31.2 km (1 dp)
