Compare The Dimensions Of The Prisims How Many Time Greather Is The Surface Area Of The Red Prism Than The Surface Area Of The Blue Prism Help Me Someone Please class=

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from blue to red you need to multiply the blue dimensions by 1.5.

4*x = 6       Divide by 4

x = 6/4

x = 1.5

The surface area is a different ball game.

SA of the blue figure

Surface area of 1 side = 4 *  4 = 16

The total surface area = 16* 6 = 96

SA of the red figure

Surface area of 1 face = 6*6

Surface area of  6 faces = 6 * 36 = 216

So what's the ratio ?

Ratio = red surface area/ blue surface area

Ratio = 216 / 96 = 2.25

Notice that if you square the dimensional ratio, you get the area ratio

1.5^2 = 2.25
