EXAMPLE 1 Identify similar solids Tell whether the given right rectangular prism is similar to the right rectangular prism shown at the right. a. b.
2
EXAMPLE 1 Identify similar solids SOLUTION The prisms are similar because the ratios of corresponding linear measures are all equal. The scale factor is 2:3. ANSWER The prisms are not similar because the ratios of corresponding linear measures are not all equal. ANSWER a. Lengths 4 8 Widths 2 4 Heights 2 2 b. Lengths 4 6 Widths 2 3 Heights 2 3 1 2 = 1 2 = 1 1 = 2 3 =
