Answer:

The ratio of the slant heights of the two cones will also be n : m.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached diagram.

If we take the vertical sections along any diameter of the base circle of the cones A and B then the triangular sections as we get will be similar.

Now, ratio of the base of the triangles A and B i.e. the ratio of the diameters of the cones A and B will be 2n : 2m = n : m and this will be the same as the ratios of other two sides of the triangles A and B.

Therefore, the ratio of the slant heights of the two cones will also be n : m. (Answer)

gulaghasi [49]

Glass bottles =total number of bottles - numeber of bottle of plastic
gass bottles=50-19=31 bottles of glass.

percent of the bottles are glass=(number of bottles of glass*100%) / total number of bottles.

percent of the glass bottles=(31 bottles * 100%) / 50 bottles=62%

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line v=-1/3x-6

bija089 [108]

If you are trying to find the slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line, you would need to change the sign and change it to the fraction's reciprocal.

m = $-\frac{1}{3}$
