For two similar solids, the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the ratio of their corresponding linear measures squared.
Surface area of the smaller solid/Surface area of the bigger solid
=
(Height of the smaller solid/Height of the bigger solid)^2
We know that the bigger solid has a height of 8 yards and a surface area of 154 square yards. We also know that the height of the smaller solid is 6 yards. We can substitute these values into the formula and calculate the surface area of the smaller solid S.
Surface area of the smaller solid/Surface area of the bigger solid=(Height of the smaller solid/Height of the bigger solid)^2
