Question

Two similar triangular prisms have volumes of 27 square meters and 64 square meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

9/16

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know that the dimensions ratio, the surface area ratio and the volume ratio have the following relation:

volume ratio = dimension ratio ^3

surface area ratio = dimension ratio ^2

The volume ratio between small prism and the large prism is 27 / 64.

To find the dimensions ratio, we need to take the cubic root of the volume scale:

dimension ratio = 3√(27/64) = 3/4

Now, to find the surface area ratio, we just need to make the square of the dimension ratio:

surface area ratio = (3/4)^2 = 9/16
