You can put this solution on YOUR website! the volumes of two similar solids, A and B, are in the ratio 1:64, respectively.
What is the ratio of the surface area of solid A to the surface area of solid B? Express answer as a common fraction.
:
Use cubes for simplicity, with sides, x & y =
y^3 = 64x^3
Cube root of both sides
y = 4x
:
Surface area
Cancel 6
Replace y with 4x = =
