- A cone 4
A cone with a radius of 10 cm is divided into two parts by drawing a plane through the midpoint of its axis parallel to its base. Compare the volumes of the two parts. - Two similar 2
Two similar polygons have corresponding sides 15 inches and 6 inches. If the area of the first is 2700 square inches, what is the area of the second? - Scale model
In a model train set, 1.38 inches represents one foot in real life. The height of One World Trade Center in New York City is 1776 feet. How tall would a scale model of the building be? Should you calculate 1776 x 1.38 or 1776 ÷ 1.38? - Observation 82811
