Question 4 of 5

A right cone has a slant height of 20 feet, and the diameter of the base is 24
feet. What is the height, h, of the cone?
24 ft
A. √544
B. 256 ft
O C. 16 ft
D. 12 ft
20 ft

Answer 1

Explanation:

So you want to use Pyth. Theorem

So you have slant height which is hypotenuse so 20ft.

Diameter you divide by two so 12ft.

Then you plug in your values.

`20^(2)`=
`12^(2)`+
`x^(2)`

400=144+x^2

Subtract 144

256=x^2

`√(256)`

X=16ft
