7. The volumes of two similar solids are 512 cm3 and 2,197 cm3. If the smaller solid has a surface area of 960 cm2, find the surface area of the larger solid. Part I: Find the similarity ratio by taking the cube root of each volume. Show your work. (3 points) Part II: Use your answer from Part I to find the ratio of the surface areas. Show your work. (3 points) Part III: Set up a proportion and solve to find the surface area of the larger solid. (4 points)

How did you get that

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

8²:13² = 960 64:169 = 960 960 = 64(15) A = 169(15) = 2535 cm²

This is for part 2?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

dont add the 960 = 64(15) A = 169(15) = 2535 cm² to it though because that is part 3

6 years ago

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

Part three answer should be: 960 * (13/8)² = 2535

6 years ago

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

so that is part 3
