Enlargement in Three Dimensions

Welcome to our lesson on enlargement in three dimensions! In this video, we’ll guide you through how changing one dimension of a shape affects its surface area and volume. We’ll build on our understanding of 3D shape volumes and 2D shape enlargements, demonstrating how to efficiently calculate changes using ratios.
📚 In this lesson, you will learn:
How to assess the impact of dimensional changes on surface area.
How to evaluate the effect of enlargements on the volume of 3D shapes.
How to use scale factors and ratios to calculate new dimensions, surface areas, and volumes.
✨ Key concepts covered:
Dimensional changes: Understand how altering one dimension affects the entire shape's surface area and volume.
Surface area and volume scaling: Learn the rules for how surface areas and volumes scale with the enlargement of 2D and 3D shapes.
Practical examples: We’ll walk through scenarios like resizing a swimming pool to efficiently calculate changes in water capacity.
