Question

I'm a bit confused on these two questions...

Are all cones similar? If so, explain why. If not, give an example of two cones that are not similar.

Describe a family of pyramids that are similar. (Hint: Use right triangles that are similar.)

Answer 1

well for any thing to be similar their properties have to be proportional

Answer 2

I feel like for the first one, they aren't, since the height is a variable that can change along with the radius/diameter.

Like two cones like this:
Just a bit confused though

Answer 3

every variable has to correspond to each other

Answer 4

ya you are right
for two to be similar
its radius and height have to be proportional

Answer 5

Ah ok, thats what I thought, just wanted to clear things up c:

Answer 6

All cones are not similar. Similar cones will have the same ratio radius of base/ height.
Obviously this is not true;-
