Solution

The question seems to be incomplete as the figures are not provided. However, if we assume that the figures are two similar cones and the surface area of the smaller cone (S1) is 3 mm², while the surface area of the larger cone (S2) is 36 mm², we can use the properties of similar figures to find the surface area of the larger cone.

The ratio of the areas of two similar figures is the square of the ratio of their corresponding lengths. So, if we let the ratio of the corresponding lengths (r) be x, we have:

(3 mm²) / (36 mm²) = x²

Solving for x, we get x = sqrt(3/36) = 0.5

So, the ratio of the corresponding lengths of the two cones is 0.5.

Since the cones are similar, the ratio of their surface areas should be the square of the ratio of their corresponding lengths. Therefore, the surface area of the larger cone (S2) should be:

S2 = (0.5)² * (3 mm²) = 0.75 mm²

However, the question states that S2 = 36 mm². This seems to be a contradiction. Please check the question and provide the correct figures.
