Question 1192108
Two similar rectangular prisms have an edge of the proportion of 3:5. If the smaller prism has a surface area of 69 m.squared, Find the surface area of the bigger prism.
----
Surface area is a function of the square of edge lengths ---> 9:25
69*(25/9) = 575/3 sq meters
============================
If the bigger prism has a volume of 500 cubic meters, find the volume of the smaller prism.
----
Volume is a function of the cube of edge length ---> 27:125
500*(27/125) = 108 cubic meters
------
Ikleyn confused the prism with a cylinder apparently.
