Ratio of length, area and volume of similar shapes Flashcards
1
Q
To workout the volume:
A
Cube the scale factor (eg.3’3/3cubed)
3cubed is 27
27 x volume of this shape
That gives the volume of the large shape
2

A
Square the linear scale factor (eg. 3’2/3squared)
3 squared is 9
Times 9 by the area of the other shape to get the area of the large shape
