Answer this question in this image below, please anyone

Answer 1

The height of the cone is 4 inches.

Explanation:

Step 1:

The given triangle is a right-angled triangle.

The length of the hypotenuse is 5 inches. One of the other sides is 3 inches long. Assume the other side of the triangle measures x inches.

According to Pythagoras' theorem, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Step 2:

(The length of the hypotenuse)² = (The other sides length)² + (The other sides length)²

By substituting the values in the equation, we get

`5^(2) = 3^(2) + x^(2) , x^(2) = 25 - 9 = 16.`

`x = 4.`

So the height of the cone is 4 inches which is the fourth option.
