Question

The value of the surface area (in square centimeters) of the cone is equal to the value of the volume (in cubic centimeters) of the cone. The formula for the surface area S of the cone S=piR2+piRL where R id the radius and the base and L is slant higher find the hight of the cone

Answer 1

hello

to find the height of the cone, we can simply use pythagorean theorem here since we know two sides of the triangle formed

using pythagorean theorem,

$\begin{gathered} x^2=y^2+z^2 \\ 15^2=y^2+6^2 \\ 225=y^2+36 \\ \text{collect like terms } \\ y^2=225-36 \\ y^2=189 \\ \text{take square roots of both sides} \\ y=\sqrt[]{189} \\ y=13.747\approx13.75 \end{gathered}$

from the calculations above, the height of the cone is 13.75cm
