Answer:

The radius of the larger is 3 3/5 cm or 3.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the volumes is that is related to the scale factor cubed

125/216 = (sf) ^3

Taking the cube root of each side

(125/216)^1/3 = (sf) ^3 ^(1/3)

5/6 = (sf)

That means the ratio of the radii is in the same proportion

5/6 = 3/ r

Using cross products

5r = 6*3

5r/5 = 18/5

r = 18/5 = 3 3/5

Answer:

In order to ride on the ride an individual must be at least 4 feet tall.

This means that the individual must be equal to 4 ¾ feet tall.

h = 4 ⅓

and the individual could be greater than 4¾ feet tall.

h > 4 ¾

So the individual could be greater than and equal to 4¾ feet tall.

h ≥ 4¾
