The volumes of two solids are 135 in^3 and 625 in^3. Find the scale factor

1 answer

To find the scale factor between the two volumes, we can calculate the cube root of the ratio of the larger volume to the smaller volume.

Let V1 = 135 in^3 and V2 = 625 in^3.

Scale factor = (V2/V1)^(1/3)
= (625/135)^(1/3)
= (4.6296)^(1/3)
= 1.79

Therefore, the scale factor between the two volumes is approximately 1.79.
