Question

The scale factor of two similar cylinders is 5:2.

The volume of the smaller cylinder is 28 m3.

What is the volume of the larger cylinder?

Question 8 options:

175 m3


350 m3


437.5 m3


70 m3


700 m3

Answer 1

70m3

Explanation:

5:2

The 2 represents the smaller cylinder. The smaller cylinder=28

To find out how much 1 is we can divide 28 by 2 and that =14. So in the ratio 1=14 and as seen on the left side we have 5 1's. So 14 times 5= 70

Have a nice day :-)
