Sphere A is similar to sphere B. If the radius of sphere A is 3 times the radius of sphere B, then the volume of sphere A is times the volume of sphere B.

Answer:

27 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that sphere A is  similar to sphere B

Let radius of sphere B be x. Then the radius of

sphere A be 3 times radius of sphere B = 3x

Volume of sphere A = [tex]V_A=\frac{4}{3} \pi (3x)^3\\V_A=36 \pi x^3[/tex]

Volume of sphere B = [tex]V_B = \frac{4}{3} \pi x^3[/tex]

Ratio would be

[tex]\frac{V_A}{V_B} =\frac{36 \pi x^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi x^3 } \\=27[/tex]

i.e. volume of sphere is 27 times volume of sphere B.
