Two prisms are similar. Their ratio of similarity is 3:5.

a) If an edge of the larger prism is 24, find the length of the corresponding edge on the smaller prism.
b) If the area of the smaller prism is 60, what is the area of the larger one?
c) If volume of the smaller prism is 78, find the volume of the larger prism.
