The scale factor that can be applied to Cone 1 to make Cone 2 is 0.8
What are scale factors?
This are constants that is used to enlarge of diminish a given figure of sides of a figure
We can determine the scale factor by finding the ratio of the similar sides of two figures, From the given cones, the ratio of their radius can determine the scale factor that is applied to Cone 1 to make Cone 2
From the given figure;
scale factor = radius of cone 2/radius of cone 1
Given the following parameters
radius of cone 2 = 2 ft
radius of cone 1 = 2.5ft
Substitute
scale factor = 2/2.5
scale factor = 0.8
Hence the scale factor that can be applied to Cone 1 to make Cone 2 is 0.8
