Volumes of Similar Figures Notes 18 – Section 12.8
Essential Learnings • Students will understand and be able to determine volumes of similar figures and spheres.
Similar Solids • If two similar solids have a scale factor of a:b then ratios of volumes: a3:b3
Example 1 • Given a scale factor of 2:3, find the ratio of the volumes. Ratio of volumes Scale Factor
Example 2 The heights of two similar prisms are in the ratio of 3:4 . If the volume of the smaller prism is 60 in3, what is the volume of the larger prism? Round to 2 decimal places.
Example 3 Two cubes have surface areas of 72 square feet and 98 square feet. What is the ratio of the volume of the small cube to the large cube? Reduce fraction
