PLease help with this last three part question

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

7. The volumes of two similar solids are 512 cm3 and 2,197 cm3. If the smaller solid has a surface area of 960 cm2, find the surface area of the larger solid. Part I: Find the similarity ratio by taking the cube root of each volume. Show your work. (3 points) Part II: Use your answer from Part I to find the ratio of the surface areas. Show your work. (3 points) Part III: Set up a proportion and solve to find the surface area of the larger solid. (4 points)

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

Ok

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

well you have 512cm^3 which the cube root of 512 is 8 and the cube root of 2197 is 13

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

The ratio is \[(13/8)^2\]

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

So that is part 1

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

Yeah

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

and then part 2

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

2535/950

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

2535cm^2/950cm^2

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Okay

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

How did you get that

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

8²:13² = 960 64:169 = 960 960 = 64(15) A = 169(15) = 2535 cm²

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

This is for part 2?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

yeah

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

okay part 3

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

dont add the 960 = 64(15) A = 169(15) = 2535 cm² to it though because that is part 3

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

Part three answer should be: 960 * (13/8)² = 2535

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

so that is part 3

zarkam21 (zarkam21):
