Section 8.6 – Area and Volume Ratios

Ratios

Linear · Linear units (in, ft, m) Perimeter Circumference Length Width Height Radius

Area · Square units () Area Surface area Lateral area

Volume · Cubic units ( Volume

MUST HAVE LINEAR RATIO (SCALE FACTOR)!!!!!

To find AREA ratio è square the scale factor

To fine VOLUME ratio è cube the scale factor (MATH, 3)

Have AREA ratio è take square root of scale factor

Have VOLUME ratio è take cube root of scale factor (MATH, 4)
