1. Surface Area and Volume of Similar Figures

2. Definition
A polyhedron is a solid that is bounded by polygons.

3. Tell whether each figure below is a polyhedron.

4. Definition
Two solids of the same type with equal ratios of corresponding linear measures, such as heights or radii, are called similar solids.

5. Tell whether each given right rectangular prism is similar to the right rectangular prism shown below.

6. Similar Solids Theorem
If two similar solids have a scale factor of a : b, then corresponding areas (and surface areas) have a ratio of a2 : b2 and corresponding volumes have a ratio of a3 : b3.
