Answer:
455.1 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The two containers have the following;
<u>Large container</u>
Volume : 3456 cm³
Surface area : 1024 cm²
<u>Small container</u>
Volume : 1458 cm³
Surface area : ?
If the two containers are mathematically similar then first find the volume scale factor
Volume of large/ volume of small
3456/1024 = 3.375
Length scale factor will be cube root of volume scale factor
∛3.375 = 1.5
Area scale factor is a square of the length scale factor
=1.5² = 2.25
=Surface area of the small container will be :
Larger area = 2.25 * small area
1024 = 2.25 * small area
1024/2.25 = small area
Surface area of the smaller container 455.1 cm².
