Two jugs are similar. The smaller jug has radius 4cm and the bigger jug has radius 6cm and surface area 125cm2. The smaller jug has a volume of 400cm.
Calculate
the area of the smaller jug.

Given:

Two jugs are similar. The smaller jug has radius 4 cm and the bigger jug has radius 6 cm and surface area 125 cm².

To find:

The area of the smaller jug.

Solution:

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of their areas is proportional to the square of the corresponding sides of the figures.

Two jugs are similar. So,

Therefore, the area of the smaller jug is about 55.56 cm².
