Find whether the given pair of
Answer to Problem 9PPS
Similar with scale factor 6:5.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Formula Used:
Two solids are similar if they have the same shape and the ratios of their corresponding linear measures are equal.
Two solids are congruent if they have the same shape and the ratios of their corresponding linear measures is 1:1.
Calculation:
The two solids are spheres.
The ratio of the radii of the spheres is
= 6:5
Since the ratios of the corresponding measures is equal and both are spheres , so the solids are similar.
Since the ratio of the corresponding sides is not 1:1 , the spheres are not congruent.
Hence,
The spheres are similar with scale factor 6:5.
