Step-by-step solution

Here's the solution to question 8.

  1. Determine the ratio of the surface areas.

    Let A1A_1 be the surface area of the smaller bottle and A2A_2 be the surface area of the larger bottle.
    Given A1=12 cm2A_1 = 12 \text{ cm}^2 and A2=108 cm2A_2 = 108 \text{ cm}^2.
    The ratio of the surface areas is:

    A1A2=12 cm2108 cm2=19\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{12 \text{ cm}^2}{108 \text{ cm}^2} = \frac{1}{9}
  2. Find the ratio of the corresponding linear dimensions (scale factor).

    For similar objects, the ratio of their surface areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding linear dimensions (scale factor, kk).

    A1A2=k2\frac{A_1}{A_2} = k^2 19=k2\frac{1}{9} = k^2

    To find kk, take the square root of both sides:

    k=19=13k = \sqrt{\frac{1}{9}} = \frac{1}{3}

    So, the ratio of the linear dimensions of the smaller bottle to the larger bottle is 13\frac{1}{3}.

  3. Calculate the volume of the smaller bottle.

    For similar objects, the ratio of their volumes is equal to the cube of the ratio of their corresponding linear dimensions.
    Let V1V_1 be the volume of the smaller bottle and V2V_2 be the volume of the larger bottle.
    Given V2=810 cm3V_2 = 810 \text{ cm}^3.

    V1V2=k3\frac{V_1}{V_2} = k^3 V1810 cm3=(13)3\frac{V_1}{810 \text{ cm}^3} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 V1810 cm3=127\frac{V_1}{810 \text{ cm}^3} = \frac{1}{27}

    Now, solve for V1V_1:

    V1=127×810 cm3V_1 = \frac{1}{27} \times 810 \text{ cm}^3 V1=81027 cm3V_1 = \frac{810}{27} \text{ cm}^3 V1=30 cm3V_1 = 30 \text{ cm}^3

    The volume of the smaller bottle is 30 cm3\text{30 cm}^3.
