document.write( "Question 326249: Can anyone help me with this cone problem? I have no idea where to begin. A girl wants to calculate the height of a tee-pee, she is 112cm tall. When she stands inside with her head touching the side, her feet are 64cm from the edge. The tee-pee is a right circular cone with a diameter of 352cm, what is it's height? Any help would be appreciated! \n" ); document.write( "

First take half of the diameter to get 176 cm. So the radius is 176 cm.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now to find the height x, notice how the smaller triangle is similar to the larger one. So this means that the corresponding sides form the same ratio. So this means that \"x%2F176=112%2F64\" (ie the ratio of the height to the horizontal distance is the same). Simply solve \"x%2F176=112%2F64\" to find the height 'x'.
