The surface area of a bucket is 6,176cm^2. What is the surface area of a similar bucket that is smaller by a scale of 1/4?
areas are proportional to the square of their sides
so smaller bucket/6176 = 1^2/4^2
smaller bucket = 6176/16 =386 cm^2
so smaller bucket/6176 = 1^2/4^2
smaller bucket = 6176/16 =386 cm^2
