Course 2 Unit 5 Lesson 7 Unit 5 Lesson 7 Properties of Volume and Surface Area Properties of Volume and Surface Area

Learn to find the volume and surface area of similar three-dimensional figures.

Recall that similar figures are proportional. The surface areas of similar three-dimensional figures are also proportional. To see this relationship, you can compare the areas of corresponding faces of similar rectangular prisms.

Area of front of smaller prism Area of front of larger prism 3 · 5 6 · (3 · 2) · (5 · 2) (3 · 5) · (2 · 2) 15 · 2 2 Each dimension has a scale factor of 2. You can multiply the numbers in any order. So (3 · 2) · (5 · 2) is the same as (3 · 5) · (2 · 2). Remember!

The area of the front face of the larger prism is 2 2 times the area of the front face of the smaller prism. This is true for all of the corresponding faces. Thus it is also true for the entire surface area of the prisms. SURFACE AREA OF SIMILAR FIGURES The surface area of a three-dimensional figure A is equal to the surface area of a similar figure B times the square of the scale factor of figure A. surface area of figure A surface area of figure B (scale factor of figure A) 2 =
