Question:

The ratio of the total surface areas of two cubes is 49 : 81. What is the ratio of their volumes?

Options:

343 : 729

284 : 486

7 : 9

49 : 121

Correct Answer:

343 : 729

Explanation:

The ratio of the total surface areas of two cubes = 49 : 81

Then the ratio of their sides = \(\sqrt {49}\) : \(\sqrt {81}\)  = 7 : 9

Now, the ratio of their volume = 72 : 92 = 343 : 729
