I can’t see the picture you mention. Could you upload it or describe the labeled lengths on each cone (which measurements are given and which is x)?
How to solve once I have that: for similar right cones the ratios of any corresponding linear measures are equal (e.g. corresponding radii, heights, or slant heights). So if cone A has radius r1 and height h1 and cone B has radius r2 and height h2, then r1/r2 = h1/h2. Use that equality and solve for x.
If you post the diagram or the numbers shown, I’ll solve for x.
