What is the ratio for the surface areas of the rectangular prisms shown below, given that they are similar and that the ratio of their edge lengths is 3:1

Respuesta :

Answer:

9 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given a linear ratio = a : b, then the corresponding area ratio is

a² : b²

Here the linear ratio of their edges = 3 : 1, hence

ratio of surface areas = 3² : 1² = 9 : 1
