Question

What is the similarity ratio of the smaller to the larger similar prisms? Enter your answer as a:b.

Answer 1

Those are suppose to be rectangular prisms.

Answer 2

@paki

Answer 3

.. a ration is like a:b so smaller to bigger would probably be 18m^2:50m^2 but idk if similarity ration changes that.. but that would be the ratio

Answer 4

It wasn't right. But thank you, though :)

Answer 5

okay.. i guess the similarity ratio changes that. I just know regular ratios.

Answer 6

Linear Measure: a:b
Area: a^2:b^2 <== This is what you are given 50:18
Volume: a^3:b^3

Find a:b

Answer 7

I still don't get it @tkhunny

Answer 8

50:18 is a^2:b^2

Find some square roots to determine a:b.
