Identify Similar and Congruent Solids A. Determine whether the pair of solids is similar, congruent, or neither. If the solids are similar, state the scale factor. Find the ratios between the corresponding parts of the square pyramids. Substitution Simplify.

Identify Similar and Congruent Solids Substitution Simplify. Answer: The ratios of the measures are equal, so we can conclude that the pyramids are similar. Since the scale factor is not 1, the solids are not congruent.

Identify Similar and Congruent Solids B. Determine whether the pair of solids is similar, congruent, or neither. If the solids are similar, state the scale factor. Compare the ratios between the corresponding parts of the cones.

Identify Similar and Congruent Solids Substitution Simplify. Substitution Answer: Since the ratios are not the same, the cones are neither similar nor congruent.

A. Determine whether the pair of solids is similar, congruent, or neither. A. similar B. congruent C. neither

B. Determine whether the pair of solids is similar, congruent, or neither. A. similar B. congruent C. neither

Use Similar Solids to Write Ratios Two similar cones have radii of 9 inches and 12 inches. What is the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the volume of the larger cone? First, find the scale factor. Write a ratio comparing the radii.

Use Similar Solids to Write Ratios If the scale factor is , then the ratio of the volumes is Answer: So, the ratio of the volume is 27: 64. .

Two similar cones have radii of 5 inches and 15 inches. What is the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to the volume of the larger cone? A. 1: 3 B. 1: 9 C. 1: 27 D. 1: 81

Use Similar Solids to Find Unknown Values SOFTBALLS The softballs shown are similar spheres. Find the radius of the smaller softball if the radius of the larger one is about 1. 9 cubic inches. Understand You know the volume of the softballs. Plan Use Theorem 12. 1 to write a ratio comparing the volumes. Then find the scale factor and use it to find r.

Use Similar Solids to Find Unknown Values Solve Write a ratio comparing volumes. = Simplify. ≈ Write as .

Use Similar Solids to Find Unknown Values Ratio of radii Scale factor Find the cross products. r ≈ 1. 45 Solve for r. Answer: So, the radius of the smaller softball is about 1. 45 inches.
