Question

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME


The following cone has a height of 12 cm and a slant height of 13 cm. A right angle is formed between the height and radius of the cone

Answer 1

Answer:

Radius of cone = 5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You can figure out a radius of the base of the cone by using Pythagoras as you know the hypotenuse (slant height) and the height of the triangle so:
$13^2-12^2 =radius^2$

$169-144 =25 = radius^2$

$radius = 5$cm
