Question 206796: do similar solids have equal surface areas?

The squares of their surface areas are proportional.
In other words, suppose you have two similar cones, say the radius of the base and height of the smaller one are of the radius of the base and height, respectively, of the larger one. Then the surface area of the smaller one will be of the surface area of the larger.
