Answer:

The missing dimension is 25 inches

Explanation:

If the solids are similar, then the ratio of the corresponding sides are equal

We have the ratio of the height to the diameter in both

kindly recall, 1 ft = 12 inches

so 10ft = 120 in

4 ft = 48 in

We have this as;

48/120 = 10/d

48d = 1200

d = 1200/48

d = 25 inches
