Question

The surface areas of two similar figures are 25 in2 and 36 in2. If the volume of the smaller figure is 250 in3, what is the volume of the larger figure?
a. 360 in3
b. 300 in3
c. 432 in3
d. 145 in3

Answer 1

$\frac{25}{250} = \frac{36}{x} \\ \\ x= \frac{36\cdot250}{25} = 36\cdot 10 \\ \\ x=360\;in^3$
