Presentation Transcript
Cuboid A is enlarged with scale factor k to obtain B. Find expressions for the surface area & volume of B Write down expressions for the surface area & volume of A x A B z y VA=xyz VB=kxkykz=k3(xyz) SA=2(xy+xz+yz) SB=2(kxky+kxkz+kykz) =k2(2(xy+xz+yz))
Scale, area & volume factors If A is enlarged by scale factor k to give B, then: Name Notation Scale factor k kLA=LB Area factor k2 k2SA=SB Volume factor k3 k3VA=VB
Sphere M is enlarged with scale factor 5 to obtain N. Find the volume of N N M VM=20cm3 VN=53x20=2500cm3
Cylinders G and H are similar. Find the radius of H SG=14 cm2 SG=224 cm2 G rG H rG=1.5cm k2 = 224 /14 = 16 so k=4 and rH= 4x1.5 = 6cm
Prisms P and Q are similar. Find the surface area of P VP=15cm3 VQ=405cm3 P Q k3 = 405/15 = 27 so k=3 and k2=9 and SP= 162 / 9 = 18cm2 SQ=162cm2
