The proposition, two similar convex polyhedrons areto each other as the cubes of any two homologous edges, will be assumedat this point, and will be applied in some of the exercises that follow. Fora complete discussion of this principle see Appendix, §§ 1022-1029. Ex. 1332. The edges of two regular tetrahedrons are 6 centimetersand 8 centimeters, respectively. Find the ratio of their volumes. Ex. 1333. The volumes of two similar polyhedrons
