The surface area formula for a cube is: 6 * s^2, where s is the side length.
The two surface areas are:
6 * 3^2 = 54
and
6 * 8^2 = 384
The ratio of their surface areas, from the surface area of the smaller cube to the surface area of the larger cube is:
54/384 = 9/64
The answer is 9/64.
Note that another way to to find the ratio of the squares of the side lengths of the cubes.
The ratio of respective surface areas will be "[tex]\frac{9}{64}[/tex]".
Given values are:
Cube's side length,
- [tex]a_1 = 3 \ cm[/tex]
Another cube's side length,
- [tex]a_2 = 8 \ cm[/tex]
Now,
→ The surface area of cube will be:
= [tex]6(a_1)^2[/tex]
= [tex]6(3)^2[/tex]
= [tex]6\times 9[/tex]
= [tex]54 \ cm^2[/tex]
→ The another cube's surface area will be:
= [tex]6(a_2)^2[/tex]
= [tex]6(8)^2[/tex]
= [tex]6\times 64[/tex]
= [tex]384 \ cm^2[/tex]
hence,
The ratio of respective surface areas will be:
= [tex]\frac{6(a_1)^2}{6(a_2)^2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{54}{384}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{64}[/tex]
Thus the above answer is correct.
