The given cones are similar .Similar figures have sides in proportion.

Forming the proportion for similar sides in the two cones we have:

$\frac{10}{3}.=\frac{3}{x}.$

This is of the form : $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}.$

We can cross multiply.

Cross multiplying we have:

10x=9

Dividing both sides by 10 we have

x= $\frac{9}{10}.$

x=0.90.

Find the area of the triangle enclosed by these lines with the following vertices. y = x, x = 0, y = 5 (0,0), (0,5), (5,5)

Lina20 [59]

The are of the triangle will be 12.5 units.

On marking the given vertices (0,0), (0,5), (5,5) of the triangle we get, the base of the triangle = 5 units and height of the triangle = 5 units.

Now, we know area of triangle = $\frac{Base * Height}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{5 *5}{2} \\ \\ = \frac{25}{2} \\ \\ = 12.5 units.$
