Question

The volumes of two similar solids are 729m3 and 125m3.The surface area of the larger solid is 324m^2.What is the surface area of the smaller solid?
56m^2
100m^2
500m^2
200m^2

anonymous · Answer

56 m^2. Since they are similiar, you can divide the volumes to get a ration #. 729/125=5.8.

anonymous · Answer

So surface area for larger solid is 324, so to get the surface area for smaller one, divide 324 by ratio 5.8 to get 56

anonymous · Answer

actually its 100
