Question

The radius of the base of the right circular cone shown below is 5 inches and the height of the cone is 7 inches solving which of the gollowing equations gives the measure 0 of the angle formed by a height of the cone and a radius

Answer 1

The required equation is
`\tan\theta=(7)/(5)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The required figure is shown below:

It is given that the radius of the base is 5 inches and the height of the cone is 7 inches.

We need to given the equation which gives the measure of
`\theta`.

Now consider the right angle triangle making an angle
`\theta`.

`\tan\theta=\frac{\text{Opp}}{\text{Adj}}`

`\tan\theta=(7)/(5)`

Hence, the required equation is
`\tan\theta=(7)/(5)`.
