wo cones are similar in shape.
The ratio of the diameters of their bases is 2:7.
The radius of the smaller cone is 4.5 inches. Diameter = 9 inches.
Let diameter of larger cone be x inches
2/7 = 9/x
diameter of larger cone x= 63/2
radius of larger cone = 63/4
let h1 be the height of smaller cone
h2 be the height of the larger cone
simplify to get the ratio of 4/49
ratio of the height of the smaller cone to the height of the larger cone=4/49

The answer from tutor @mananth for the second question is wrong; what she did to get the answer makes no sense.
If the ratio of the diameters of the two cones is 2:7, then the ratio of ANY corresponding linear measurements between the two cones is 2:7.
A) 4.5 * (7/2) = 9/2*7/2 = 63/4
B) 2:7
