Okay, so I've got a worksheet here of ratios of different shapes to various things such as their volume and altitude and such. First problem is:
1.) The corresponding edges of two similar triangular prisms are in the ratio of 5:3. What is the ratio of their volumes?
How would you go about solving this? What would you do if given the ratios of two trapezoid's areas, 1:9, and asked for the ratio of their altitudes?

Alright, you guys can all pretty much call me Seirye. Duh. Anyways, I'm an Analysis student in High School, and next year, as a Junior, I'll be in Calculus. The main reason I joined here is to help my boyfriend out, though. He's in Geometry, which I took two years ago in 8th grade, and my poor brain has so much of radians lately I just don't remember Geo! Anyways, I lost my notebook from then, and I'm in desperate need of help to bring his grades up! And it's nice to see that the internet is used to help each other... I have to say I appreciate the work you guys put in here! I'll help where I can!
