Answer:

the answer is the option C [tex]0.9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and the ratio is called the scale factor

so

[tex]\frac{10}{3}=\frac{3}{x}\\ \\10x=9\\ \\ x=\frac{9}{10}\\ \\x=0.9\ units[/tex]

For the smaller cone, the value of x is equal to 0.9 (option C).

Rule of Three

It's a math tool for solving problems about proportion. You can relate more than 2 variables and from the proportion, it's possible to find an unknown number.

Here you can apply the rule of three for finding x. Thus,

10  --------- 3

3   ---------- x

Applying cross multiplication, you have:

10x=9

x=0.9
