16. The cones below are similar, although not drawn to scale. (1 point)
18 ft
r = 6 ft
27 ft
X
What is the length of the radius of the larger cone?
O 4 ft
O 6 ft
O 9 ft
O 12 ft
We can set up a proportion to solve for the length of the radius of the larger cone:
6/18 = x/27
where x is the length of the radius of the larger cone.
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
6 * 27 = 18 * x
162 = 18x
x = 9
Therefore, the length of the radius of the larger cone is 9 ft. The answer is O 9 ft.
