You can put this solution on YOUR website! Remember that in similar figures, sides are proportion by Scale Factor.
.
Lengths and perimeter are proportional to SF^1
.
Areas to SF^2
.
and Volumes to SF^3
.
In this case ,,,SF^3 = 64 / 27 ,,,SF = 1 1/3
.
LA larger = (1 1/3)^2 * LA smaller
.
LA = (1 1/3)^2 * 18 = 32
.
Check,,,,SF^2 = 32/18 = 1.777,,,,SF =1 1/3,,,,ok
