Presentation Transcript

  1. 11.7 Areas and Volumes of Similar Solids • Similar solids have the same shape, and all their corresponding dimensions are proportional. • The ratio of corresponding linear dimensions of two similar solids is the scale factor. • Any two cubes are similar, as are any two spheres.

  2. Identifying Similar Solids • Are the two rectangular prisms similar? If so, what is the scale factor of the first figure to the second figure?

  3. Areas and Volumes of Similar Solids • If the scale factor of two similar solids is a : b, then: • The ratio of their corresponding areas is a² : b². • The ratio of their corresponding volumes is a³ : b³.

  4. Finding the Scale Factor • The square prisms are similar. What is the scale factor of the smaller prism to the larger prism?

  5. More Practice!!!!! • Homework – Textbook p. 746 # 6 – 16 even.
