statement is true then the conclusion is also true

statements when the conclusion of one is the hypothesis of the other

Similar Solids Theorem

If two similar solids have a scale factor of a:b, then their corresponding surface areas
have a ratio of a2: b2, and their corresponding
volumes have a ratio of a3: b3.
