Question

The two cones below are similar. What is the value of x?

Cone 1
Height = 10
Radius = 3

Cone 2
Height = 3
Radius = x

A. 0.3
B. 0.9
C. 0.09
D. 0.18

Answer 1

Answer:

If they are similar, the ratio of 10/3 should be the same as the 3/x

then solve

10/3 = 3/x

cross multiply

10x=8

x = 9/10

so C. is the right answer
