The scant of the cone is 5.83 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height, h of the cone = 3 in

Diameter, d = 10 in

Radius, r = 10/2 = 5 in

Scant, L = ?

Height, diameter and cone will form a right angle triangle.

Using pythagoras theorm:

(L)² = (h)² + (d)²

(L)² = (3)² + (5)²

(L)² = 34

L = 5.83 in

Therefore, the scant of the cone is 5.83 in
