Answer:

√34 is the measure of slant height of the cone.

Explanation:

In a right circular cone with a radius of 3 and height of 5 have been given in the question.

We have to find the slant height of the cone.

Since cone is a right circular cone. Therefore a right angle triangle drawn on the base is having base of 3 and height of 5 and we have to calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle.

From Pythagoras theorem

hypotenuse² = Height² + Base²

Slant height = √(5²+3²) = √25+9 = √34

Therefore √34 is the right answer.
