The cones below are similar, although not drawn to scale
What is the length of the radius of the larger cone?
a. 5 ft
b. 6ft**
c. 7 ft
d. 8 ft
Thank you!
@no name You have the IQ of a fish out of water, and your brain is the size of a peanut. I bet your the guy who thinks softer when told not to think to hard.
well, the ratio will be the same as the height
You may be right, but in the absence of any figure, it's hard to say.
Jeez, I'm surprised nobody knows. I do though, so here is the answer. It is 6ft. Set up a proportion and solve people!
lmao
@no name have you learned a single thing from middle school- if you rlly think its 8 i'm sorry-
So what the answer if it not 8 yo

To find the length of the radius of the larger cone, we need to use the concept of similarity. The question states that the cones are similar, which means that their corresponding sides are proportional. In this case, we can compare the radii of the two cones.
Let's assume that the radius of the smaller cone is "r" feet. According to the question, the length of the radius of the larger cone is what we need to determine.
Now, let's compare the radii of the two cones. Since the cones are similar, we can set up a proportion:
(radius of larger cone) / (radius of smaller cone) = (length of the larger cone) / (length of the smaller cone)
Let's substitute the values that we know into the proportion:
(radius of larger cone) / r = (length of the larger cone) / (length of the smaller cone)
Since we are only interested in finding the length of the radius of the larger cone, we can rearrange the equation to solve for it:
(radius of larger cone) = (length of the larger cone) * r / (length of the smaller cone)
However, since we don't have the lengths of the cones, we cannot determine the exact length of the radius of the larger cone.
Therefore, without additional information, it's not possible to determine the length of the radius of the larger cone.

no she might be wrong bc on the little one it has 15 ft and the radius is 5 ft so on the bigger one it has 18 ft so the radius might be 8
