Answer:

h =
√(55) in

Explanation:

A right triangle is formed by h, slant height and radius

Here the legs are h and 6 ÷ 2 = 3, hypotenuse is 8

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

h² + 3² = 8²

h² + 9 = 64 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

h² = 55 ( take the square root of both sides )

h =
√(55) in
