The areas of similar solids are related by the square of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths. For example, if the side length of one solid is twice as long as the corresponding side length of another solid, then the area of the first solid will be four times the area of the second solid, since (2)^2 = 4.
The volumes of similar figures are related by the cube of the ratio of their corresponding side lengths. For example, if the side length of one figure is three times as long as the corresponding side length of another figure, then the volume of the first figure will be 27 times the volume of the second figure, since (3)^3 = 27.
