we know that
surface area smaller figure=scale factor²*surface area larger figure
scale factor=√[surface area smaller figure/surface area larger figure]
scale factor=√[4/9]-----> scale factor=2/3
so
volume smaller figure=scale factor³*volume larger figure
volume smaller figure=(2/3)³*216----> (8/27)*216----> 64 in³
the answer is
the volume of the smaller figure is 64 in³
