Select the correct answer. Figure 1 is similar to figure 2. What is the height of figure 1? The picture shows two cones, figure 1 and figure 2. The radius of a figure 1 cone is x plus 1, and the height is 4x. The radius of a figure 2 cone is x, and the height is 2x A. 8 units B. 1 unit C. 2 units D. 4 units

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • D. 4 units

------------------------------

If two figures are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides is same.

Set up an equation and solve for x:

  • x / (x + 1) = 2x / (4x)
  • x / (x + 1) = 1/2
  • 2x = x + 1
  • x = 1

The height of figure 1 is 4x:

  • 4x = 4*1 = 4 units
