The surface areas of two similar cylinders are 6ft2 and 54ft2. The volume of the smaller cylinder is 2ft3. What is the volume in cubic feet of the larger cylinder?
----------------
The surface areas of two similar cylinders are 6ft2 and 54ft2
The ratio of dimensions is 3 to 1.
------
The volume of the smaller cylinder is 2ft3. What is the volume in cubic feet of the larger cylinder?
----------
The ratio of the volumes is the cube of 3 to 1 = 27 to 1
--> 54 cubic ft
