Similar Solids: Examples (Basic Geometry Concepts)

Here you'll learn that the ratio of the surface areas of similar solids is equal to the square of their scale factor and that the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of their scale factor.

This video provides the student with a walkthrough of one or more examples from the concept "Similar Solids".
