Answer to Problem 12PPS
125:8
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Two spheres have surface areas of
square centimeters and
Formula Used: If the ratio of the sides of two similar
If the ratio of the sides of two similar solids is a : b , then the ratio of the surface area of the solids is
Calculation:
First , we find the scaling factor of the sides , k
Ratio of surface areas of the spheres is
So, the ratio of the volume of the larger sphere to the volume of the smaller sphere is
