Question

Two similar cylinders have volumes of 512π inch^3
, 64π inch^3
, and 64π inch^3
,.512π inch^3
. By comparing volume, what is the scale factor of the small cylinder to the larger cylinder?(1 point)

Answer 1

Volume ratio = 64π / 512π = 64/512 = 1/8.
Linear scale factor = cube root(1/8) = 1/2.

So the small cylinder is 1/2 the linear size of the larger (scale factor 1:2).
