Answer:

h = 15.13 cm

Explanation:

Lateral Surface Area of a Cone

Given a right circular cone of base radius r and height h, the lateral surface area is given by:


A=\pi r√(r^2+h^2)

We are given the lateral area of a funnel as A=236.64 square cm and the radius is r=4.75 cm. It's required to find the height of the cone. It can be calculated by solving for h.

Squaring:


A^2=\pi^2 r^2(r^2+h^2)

Dividing by
\pi r^2


\displaystyle (A^2)/(\pi^2 r^2)=r^2+h^2

Subtracting
r^2:


\displaystyle (A^2)/(\pi^2 r^2)-r^2=h^2

Taking square root:


\displaystyle h=\sqrt{ (A^2)/(\pi^2 r^2)-r^2}

Substituting the values:


\displaystyle h=√( 251.472-22.5625)


\displaystyle h=√( 228.909)

h = 15.13 cm
