Volume and surface area of similar solids

Volume and surface area of similar solids

What you'll learn

  • Identify corresponding dimensions (radius, height, side length) of two similar solids, and determine the scale factor between them with at least 80% accuracy on a worksheet.
  • Calculate the ratio of the surface areas and the ratio of the volumes of two similar solids, given the scale factor, and explain the relationship between these ratios with 100% accuracy on a short answer question.
  • Solve for a missing surface area or volume of a solid, given the surface area or volume of a similar solid and the scale factor, in at least 3 out of 4 word problems.
  • Apply the properties of similar solids to determine the scale factor given the ratio of surface areas or volumes with 80% accuracy on a quiz.
