You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if the ratio of the sides of 2 polygons is 5/7, then the ratio of the area of the two polygons is (5/7)^2 and the ratio of the volume of the two polygons is (5/7)^3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the volume of your smaller polygon is 35 cm^3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let x be the volume of your larger polygon.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then (5/7)^3 * x = 35\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solve for x to get x = 96.04 cm^3.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the surface area of your polygon is divided into two parts.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula is equal to pi * r^2 + pi * r * l, where l is the small letter L which represents the slant height.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the ratio of the surface area of the smaller cone is therefore equal to (5/7)^2 * pi * r^2 + (5/7)^2 * pi * r * l.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this formula can be made equivalent to (5/7)^2 * (pi * r^2 + pi * r * l).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if this is correct, then the surface area of the smaller cone should be equal to (5/7)^2 * the surface area of the larger cone.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i tested this out with an online calculator and determined that it is correct.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can do the same, using the following online calculator.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "http://ncalculators.com/area-volume/cone-calculator.htm\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "note that the calculator used the formula pi * r^2 + pi * r * sqrt(r^2 + h^2).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is because l is equal to sqrt (r^2 + h^2), therefore, they just replace l with sqrt(r^2 + h^2).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the calculator confirms thqt the volume of the smaller cone is equal to (5/7)^3 * the volume of the larger cone, and it confirms that the surface area of the smaller cone is equal to (5/7)^2 * the area of the large cone.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "i used the following measurements when testing.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "radius of smaller cone is 5.
\n" ); document.write( "height of smaller cone is 10.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "radius of larger cone is 7.
\n" ); document.write( "height of larger cone is 14.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can see that the ratio of the corresponding sides are (5/7).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you can use whatever measures you see fit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "just make sure that the corresponding sides of the smaller cone are equal to 5/7 * the corresponding sides of the larger cone.
