Asked by Sara

A cone with height 8 and radius 2 is sliced halfway along its height by a plane that is parallel to the base of the cone. What is the radius of the circle at the intersection of the plane and the cone?
Answered by oobleck
since the slice is halfway from tip to base, the radius is half that of the base.

Consider a side view, and use similar triangles.
