ESSAY

25. ANS:
[4] Think of the balloon at its two different sizes as two similar solids. The ratio of the
small balloon to the large balloon is 5 to 10 or 1 to 2. If the ratio of the solids is 1 to 2,
then the ratio of the volumes will be 1 to 2 , or 1 to 8. Write and solve a proportion to
find the larger volume.

= Write a proportion.

x = 8(71) Write the cross products.

x = 568 Multiply.
The volume of the balloon when the design is 10 cm wide is 568 cm .

26. ANS:
Answers may vary. Sample: The apothem is one leg of a right triangle and the radius is the hypotenuse. A
hypotenuse is always longer than either of the two legs.

27. ANS:
Answers may vary. Sample: Since both the width and the length are doubled, the area will be quadrupled. To
double the area, you only need to double one of the dimensions.
