Answer:

D. 60 feet.

Explanation:

Radius of big windmill = 1/3 * 210 = 105 ft.

The 2 windmills are similar in shape so

C/R = c/r where C and R refer to big windmill and c and r are the circumference and radius of the smaller one.

So 660/105 = 376/ r

r = (105 * 376)/660

= 60 feet.

Answer:

the radius of the smaller windmill is approximately 60 feet (option D).

Explanation:

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.

For the larger windmill:

C = 660 feet

2πr = 660

r = 330/π

r ≈ 105.1 feet

For the smaller windmill:

C = 376 feet

2πr = 376

r = 188/π

r ≈ 59.8 feet

Therefore, the radius of the smaller windmill is approximately 60 feet (option D).
