Which the following could represent the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure?
Two cylinders are shown and one is larger than the other. The surface area of the smaller cylinder is 20 pi yards squared. The surface area of the larger cylinder is 125 pi yards squared.
There is 2 answers to this question!
4:25
6pi:15pi
8:125
20pi:125pi
16pi:250pi
2:5
The answers are 2:5 and 4:25.
To find the scale factor between the smaller and larger cylinder, we can compare their surface areas.
The surface area of the smaller cylinder is 20 pi square yards, and the surface area of the larger cylinder is 125 pi square yards.
To find the scale factor, we need to divide the surface area of the larger cylinder by the surface area of the smaller cylinder:
125 pi / 20 pi = 6.25
Therefore, the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure is 6.25.
