Question

How do you find the height of a cone using the slanted height PLEASE HELP! MAKE SURE ANSWER IS CLEAR

Answer 1

Explanation:

Well you can't find the height of the cone using only the slant height because there simply isn't enough information

S = Slant Height

R = Radius

H = Height

However if you had the radius of the base of the cone, then you can use the Pytagorean theorem like so: H = square root(S^2 - R^2)

If you had the angle the slant made against the base, you could use:

H = S*sin(Angle)
