Two similar solids have a scale factor of 5:3. what is the ratio of their volumes, expressed in the lowest terms?
If two solids are similar then, the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of the ratios of their corresponding sides. That is,
ratio of volume = (5/3)^3
Simplifying the equation above will give us an answer of 125/27.
Answer:
125:27. (if you are in k12, you enter in your answer like that)
