Math Problem Statement

Two similar vases A and B are such that the surface area of vase B is 25/64 of the surface area of vase A. The volume of vase B is given as 541.8 cm³. Calculate the volume of vase A.

Solution

The problem involves two similar vases AA and BB. We are given the following information:

  1. The surface area of vase BB is related to the surface area of vase AA by the ratio: Surface area of B=2564×Surface area of A\text{Surface area of } B = \frac{25}{64} \times \text{Surface area of } A

  2. The volume of vase BB is provided as: Volume of B=541.8 cm3\text{Volume of } B = 541.8 \text{ cm}^3

  3. The relationship between the volumes of similar objects is proportional to the cube of the ratio of their corresponding lengths (or surface areas in this case).

Thus, we can use the fact that: (Volume of BVolume of A)=(Surface area of BSurface area of A)3/2\left( \frac{\text{Volume of } B}{\text{Volume of } A} \right) = \left( \frac{\text{Surface area of } B}{\text{Surface area of } A} \right)^{3/2}

With the given information, we can set up the equation for the volumes and solve for the volume of vase AA, then proceed with solving other parts.
