The volume of two similar kettles are 2160 cm^3 and 640 cm^3
\n" ); document.write( ".what is the ratio of their bases?.
\n" ); document.write( "if the smallest kettle has a height of 16 cm, what is the height of the larger kettle?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Ratio of the dimensions from the volumes: \"3sqrt%282169%29%2F3sqrt%28640%29\" = 1.5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"if the smallest kettle has a height of 16 cm, what is the height of the larger kettle\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.5 * 16 = 24 cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"what is the ratio of their bases?\"
\n" ); document.write( "I assume they want the area of the bases
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "640/16 = 40 sq/cm, the small kettle base
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2160/24 = 90 sq/cm, the large kettle base
\n" ); document.write( ":
