The correct answer is 1,260. Since it’s given that prisms X and Y are similar, all the linear measurements of prism Y are k times the respective linear measurements of prism X, where k is a positive constant. Therefore, the surface area of prism Y is k2 times the surface area of prism X and the volume of prism Y is k3 times the volume of prism X. It’s given that the surface area of prism Y is 1,450 cm2, and the surface area of prism X is 58 cm2, which implies that 1,450 = 58k2. Dividing both sides of this equation by 58 yields 1,45058= k2, or k2 = 25. Since k is a positive constant, k = 5. It’s given that the volume of prism Y is 1,250 cm3. Therefore, the volume of prism X is equal to cm3, which is equivalent to cm3 , or 10 cm3. Thus, the sum of the volumes, in cm3, of the two prisms is 1,250+10, or 1,260.
