For the similar solids that are 2cm and 12mm can you explain how you got those answers please and thank you
Firstly, we need to convert the measurements into the same unit, either cm or mm. Let's convert the 2cm into mm, by multiplying it by 10:
2cm x 10mm/cm = 20mm
So the 2cm solid is equivalent to 20mm.
Now, let's compare it to the 12mm solid.
20mm and 12mm are not the same measurement, so they are not identical solids. However, we can say that they are similar solids because they have the same shape and proportions, but differ in size.
To find the ratio of their sizes, we can divide the larger measurement by the smaller measurement:
20mm รท 12mm = 1.67
This means that the larger solid (2cm) is 1.67 times bigger than the smaller solid (12mm).
To compare two similar solids, such as one that measures 2 cm and another that measures 12 mm, follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert the units to a common unit of measurement.
In this case, convert the 2 cm to millimeters (mm), since the other measurement is already in mm.
2 cm = 2 x 10 mm = 20 mm
Step 2: Compare the two measurements.
Now that both measurements are in millimeters, you can directly compare them:
20 mm (from 2 cm) and 12 mm
Step 3: Draw a conclusion based on the comparison.
Comparing 20 mm to 12 mm, we can say that the solid measuring 20 mm is larger than the solid measuring 12 mm.
So, the two solids are not identical in size, but they are still similar based on their shape and proportions.
