The areas of similar solids are related by the square of the scale factor. This means that if two solids are similar, their areas will be proportional to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
Similarly, the volumes of similar figures are related by the cube of the scale factor. This means that if two figures are similar, their volumes will be proportional to the cube of the ratio of their corresponding sides.
