If two shapes are 'similar', it means that the dimensions of the shapes have the same ratio towards each other. In this example, we can see that the side with a length of 2 correlates to the side with a length of 4. That means, the scaling ratio is 4:2, which can be reduced to 2:1.
The next step is to look at the other side. We know that the width of the smaller shape is 1, and that the second shape is twice the size of the smaller shape (which is what a scale of 2:1 means). Therefore, you just need to multiply the known width by two to get the unknown.
1 * 2 = 2
The missing side _d_ has a length of 2.
Hope that helped =)

Answer:
115.5 cubic yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume is given by the formula ...\
V = 1/3πr²h
Here the diameter is 7 yards, so the radius is 3.5 yards. The volume is then ...
V = (1/3)π(3.5 yd)²(9 yd) = 36.75π yd³ ≈ 115.454 yd³
The volume of the cone is about 115.5 cubic yards.
Answer:
300
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of ratio units in 6:5 is 6+5=11, so each of those ratio units must stand for 550/11 = 50 detectives. Then the 6 ratio units of police detectives stand for 6·50 = 300 police detectives.
