An art exhibit at a local museum features several similarly shaped metal cubes welded together to make a sculpture. The smallest cube has a edge length of 6 inches. What are the edge lengths of the other cubes if the ratios of similarity to the smallest cube are 1.25, 43 , 1.5, 74 , and 2 respectively?

Given:

The smallest cube has a edge length of 6 inches.

The ratios of similarity to the smallest cube are 1.25, 43 , 1.5, 74 , and 2 respectively.

To find:

The edge lengths of the other cubes.

Solution:

If two figures are similar, then the ratios of similarity is equal to the ratio of their corresponding sides.

Let the edge of other cube be x.

It means, the edges of other cubes are 6 times of the ratio of similarity to the smallest cube.

Now,

Therefore, the edges of other cubes are 7.5, 8, 9, 10.5 and 12 respectively.
