Determine whether each statement is sometimes, always, or never true. if the scale factor of two similar solids is a: b, then the ratio of their surface areas is a: b. question 4 options:

always

never

sometimes

never

Step-by-step explanation:

let k be the scale ratio of two bodies then according to the question

k = a/b  -- (1)

let Sa be the surface area of body A and Sb be the surface area of body B , then

according to the relation of scale factor and surface areas

from the above equation ,

as k = a/b  from (1)

therefore

hence the ratio of their surface area is

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.

no
