Question

Find the height of this cone using the Pythagorean Theorem. 9 in. h = [?] in. 6 in. a C Pythagorean Theorem: a2 + b2 = c2 b​

Answer 1

h = √72 in.

Explanation:

Height of the cone using pythagorean theorem, a² + b² = c², where:

a = h

b = ½(6) = 3 in.

c = 9 in.

Plug in the values

h² + 3² = 9²

h² + 9 = 81

h² + 9 - 9 = 81 - 9

h² = 72

h = √72
