I need some guidance with this please:) Part 1: Create and provide the dimensions for two similar figures of your choosing. Part 2: What is the similarity ratio of these figures along with the ratio of their surface area and volume? Part 3: Show your work, either using the actual volumes or using the formula, that the volume ratio is true.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

What sort of figure do you want to use...triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, pentagon...pick something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Triangle!

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Oh ...it has to be three dimensional since we have to do volume so why don't you choose something simple like a rectangular prism otherwise known as a box.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, like a cube, right?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. Do you know how to draw a cube?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now you draw two cubes. Make a little one and one 2 times as big. Do you want to try that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure hold on:)
