Master volume & surface area of similar solids! Practice calculations, error analysis, and estimation.

Match the equivalent ratios. Error Analysis The ratio of the corresponding linear measures of two similar solids is 3 : 5. The volume of the smaller solid is 108 cubic inches. Look at the work in the picture. What is the error? Finding Surface Areas Volumes The solids are similar. Find the surface area S or volume V of the red solid. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Problem Answer (don't worry about units, just type in the number!) 756 2827.7 196 13,564.8 Challenge Problem! You have a small marble statue of Wolfgang Mozart. It is 10 inches tall and weighs 16 pounds. The original statue is 7 feet tall. Estimate the weight of the original statue. Explain your reasoning.
