Answer:

h =
√(84) cm

Explanation:

The radius, height h and slant height form a right triangle.

radius r = 8 ÷ 2 = 4, hypotenuse = 10

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

h² + 4² = 10²

h² + 16 = 100 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

h² = 84 ( take the square root of both sides )

h =
√(84) cm
