What is the ratio of the volume?

Answer 1

Hi Lana

Assuming both boxes are square, one with side equal to 3 the other with side 4

The ratio of perimeters will be 4/3 [perimeter of one is 4*4=16 the other is 3*4=12]

The ratio of areas will be (4/3)² [area of one is 4²= 16 the other is 3²=9]

The ratio of volumes will be (4/3)³ [volume of one is 4³=64 the other is 3³=27]

try to figure out the surface area ratio
