To find the scale factor of their heights, we can use the formula for the ratio of corresponding sides of similar shapes, which is:
Scale factor = (height of larger cone) / (height of smaller cone)
Given that the radii of the cones are in a ratio of 4:3, meaning the height of the cones will also have that same ratio. Therefore, the scale factor of their heights is 4:3 or 4/3.
Two cones are similar one has the radius of 3cm and the other has a radius of 4cm..what is the scale factor of their heights?
