To find: missing measure for each pair of similar solids.
Answer to Problem 11PPS
The value of missing term x is 4.8 in.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
In the first cone the height of the cone is 10 in. and the radius of the cone is 8 in..
In the second cone the height of the cone is 6 in, and the radius of the cone is x in..
Consider the two cones are similar.
The objective is to find the value of x.
To find the value of x use the property that two solid figures are similar if they have the same shape and their corresponding linear measurements are proportional.
Since the two cones are similar, so the corresponding linear measurements are proportional.
Thus,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of missing term x is 4.8 in.
