If the ratio of the volume of two cubes is 1: 8, then what will be the ratio of the area of the base of the two cubes.
Answers
Answer:
1:4
Step-by-step explanation:
let volume of one cube be a³ and of the other's be b³
then,
a³:b³=1:8
=>a³/b³=1/8
=>(a/b)³=(1/2)³
=>a/b=1/2
=>(a/b)²=(1/2)²
=>a²/b²=1/4
=>area of base of one cube/area of base of another cube =1/4 [since, area of any side of cube is side²]
=>area of base of one cube: area of base of another cube=1:4
Here the ratio of volume of two cubes is 1:8
so lets volume of first cube be x^3 and the volume of second cube be 8x^3( x^3 is because it the unit of volume)
so lets the length of length , breadth and height of cube be x.
volume of first cube = x^3
(side)^3 = x^3
x^3 = x^3
so, x=1
now the volume of second cube is 8x^3
lets its side be x
(side)^3 = 8x^3
so x = 2
now are of base of first cube = 1unit^3
and the are ao f base of second cube is 4 unit ^2
so the ratio i s1: 4
