Worksheet: Similarity of Solids
In this worksheet, we will practice identifying similar solids and using similarity to find their dimensions, areas, and volumes.

Q11:
The given pair of rectangular prisms are similar. If the surface area of the smaller rectangular prism is 310 yd2, determine the surface area of the larger one.
Q12:
A cone has a volume of 11,756 cubic centimeters. Suppose that its dimensions were reduced as the figure shows, find the volume of the resulting cone.
Q13:
The Newton High School Cheerleaders are making megaphones out of cardboard for a big game. The megaphone is a large cone, as pictured, with a small cone removed in order to shout the cheers through and amplify oneβs voice.
Given that the cones are right cones, identify the height of the smaller cone.
Find, to two decimal places, the surface area of the cardboard which makes the small cone.
