Question
The areas of corresponding faces of two similar triangular prisms are 49cm squared and 25cm squared. What is the ratio of the corresponding side lengths? Of the perimeters of the corresponding faces? Of the volume?
Answers
Reiny
ratio of corresponding sides
= 7 : 5
since perimeter is a linear measurement, the ratio of perimeter is also
7 : 5
ratio of volumes = 6^3 : 5^3
= 343 : 125
= 7 : 5
since perimeter is a linear measurement, the ratio of perimeter is also
7 : 5
ratio of volumes = 6^3 : 5^3
= 343 : 125
