Well 9 3/4 is 9.75 and 27 1/2 is 27.5 so if we take 27.5 and subtract 9.75 you get 17.75 and then all you have to do is 17.75/2 which is 8.875 so the answer would be 8.875 inches on either side
The missing dimension in the figure given in the question is 9 ft
<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
- Diameter of small circle = 24 in
- Height of small circle = 8 in
- Height of big circle = 3 ft = 3 × 12 = 36 in
- Diameter of big circle (d) = ?
<h3>How to determine the missing dimension</h3>
Diameter of small circle / Diameter of big circle = Height of small / Height of Big
24 / d = 8 / 36
Cross multiply
d × 8 = 24 × 36
d × 8 = 864
Divide both sides by 8
d = 864 / 8
d = 108 in
Divide by 12 to express in feet
d = 108 / 12
d = 9 ft
Thus, the missing dimension is 9 ft
