    The ratio of the lengths of the sides of two cubes is 1:3. Find the following:
    a. The ratio of their surface areas
    b. The ratio of their volumes.
    a. sides = 1 : 3
    ratio of areas = 12 : 32
    = 1 : 9
    the ratios of areas or surface areas are just the ratios of the sides squared
    b. sides = 1 : 3
    ratio of volumes
    = 13 : 33
    = 1 : 27
    the ratios of the volume are just the ratios of the sides cubed
