12.5 Similarity in 3D Solids
When a shape is enlarged by linear scale factor k, the volume of the shape is enlarged by scale factor k^3. In this section, we learn about similar figures, area, enlargement, enlargement with positive scale factor, enlargement with negative scale factor.
If you're a student in a school/college that's based in England, you might be entitled for full access to our eLearning platform where you can access to all our tutorial videos and practice questions.
Please check with the head of Maths or deputy headteacher at your school/college to request access if they've already registered to our free pilot subscription. They can always reach us at the below email:
