You can put this solution on YOUR website! can you please help me slove ((( True of false Two right circular cones with radii 4 and 8, and heights 10 and 20, respectively, are similar. )))
---------------------
That's true. If you look at a 2-dimensional projection of a cone, it's a triangle, and increasing it by the same ratio makes them similar.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! In solid figures, if linear dims are proportional, figures are similar.
.
Scale factor by radius are,,4/8 = 1/2,,,by height,,10/20 =1/2,,,,
.
Therefore they are similar
