Answer:
diameter = 12 inches
Explanation:
The above diagram is a cone , the length of CB is 6 inches . The length of the diameter of the cone can be computed as follows:
The length CB is the base radius of the cone .
radius = 6 inches
The question asked for the length of the diameter which is the length of CD. The length CD is the diameter
Since we know the radius , the diameter can be solved .
radius = diameter/2
radius = 6 inches
6 = diameter/2
cross multiply
diameter = 6 × 2
diameter = 12 inches
