Question

Find the slant height for a right circular cone with a radius of 3 and a height of 5.

Answer 1

apply the pythagoras theorem on triangles ABC
\[(AC)^{2} = (AB)^{2} + (BC)^{2}\]
which means
\[h^{2} = 3^{2} + 5^{2}\]

Answer 2

h is the slant height...
now all u have to do is simplify the expression and find h..
can u do that ?

Answer 3

yeah I can do that thank you :)

Answer 4

u r welcome!
