Section 12-5 Areas and Volumes of Similar Solids
Similar solids • Solids that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size.
How to tell if solids are similar: • Determine whether the bases are similar. • See if corresponding lengths are proportional. • Think Scale factor!
Questions: • Are all spheres similar? • Are all right cylinders similar? • Are all cubes similar? Yes No Yes
The ratio of the base areas, of the lateral areas, and of the total areas is • The ratio of the volumes is Theorem 12-11 • If the scale factor of two solids is , then • The ratio of corresponding perimeters is
