The two hexagonal pyramids are similar.



If the smaller pyramid has a surface area of 25.49 ft2, what is the surface area of the larger pyramid? Round to the nearest hundredth.

ft2

I’m missing the scale factor or any corresponding linear measurement from the diagram. For similar solids, surface area scales by the square of the linear scale factor k (ratio of any corresponding lengths). So

- k = (a corresponding length on the larger pyramid) / (same corresponding length on the smaller pyramid)
- Surface area of larger = k^2 × 25.49 ft^2

If you tell me one pair of corresponding linear measures (for example, base side lengths, heights, slant heights, or a labeled ratio), I’ll compute the numeric answer and round to the nearest hundredth.

Example: if the larger pyramid’s corresponding linear measure is twice the smaller’s (k = 2), area = 2^2 × 25.49 = 4 × 25.49 = 101.96 ft^2.
