Recall

Similarity with areas and volumes — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

Two geometrically similar solids S and T have corresponding lengths 2 cm and 9 cm. S has surface area \(\displaystyle 9 \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) and volume \(\displaystyle 18 \mathrm{cm}^{3}\).

Find the surface-area multiplier from S to T.

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
