Question

Please help!! Which of the following could represent the scale factor of the smaller figure to the larger figure?

Smaller figures volume is 216in.^3
Larger figures volume is 343in.^3

Answer 1

Scale factor is 216 : 343

Explanation:

To find the scale factor of smaller figure to the larger figure means we have to find the ratio of smaller figure as compared to the smaller one.

To find the ratio we will divide the volume of smaller figure by larger one.

Scale factor =
`(216)/(343)=0.629`

Or in simple way ratio is 216 : 343

Therefore scale factor 216 : 343 will be the answer.

Answer 2

Two cylinders are shown. One is 216in^3 and one is 343in^3. Divide the smaller number (216) by the larger number (343). The answer is .629. That means that the smaller figure is approximately 63% the size of the larger figure.
