Question 1156808: The surface area of a triangular prism is 78 square inches. What is the surface area of a similar prism that is three times as large? Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
If the scale factor between the two similar figures is 3:1, then the ratio of any corresponding linear measurements is 3:1, the ratio of any corresponding area measurements is 9:1, and the ratio of any corresponding volume measurements is 27:1.
