To find: the missing measure for each pair of similar solids.
Answer to Problem 4CYU
The value of missing term l is 4.8m.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
In the first pyramid the length of the base is 0.9 m and the slant height of the pyramid is 1.2 m.
In the second pyramid the length of the base is 3.6 m and the slant height of the pyramid is l.
Consider the two pyramids are similar.
The objective is to find the value of l.
To find the value of l 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 pyramids are similar, so the corresponding linear measurements are proportional.
Thus,
Conclusion:
Therefore, the value of missing term l is 4.8m.
