Two similar cans have different heights 8cm and the other one 10cm.If the surface area of the larger can is 480cm2,find the surface area of the smaller can.

---

linear scale factor (LSF) =8/10 =0.8
Area scale factor(ASF)=LSF *LSF = 0.8*0.8= 0.64
Area of smaller can = 480*ASF
=480*0.64 = 307.2 cm2
