Konery wants to make their waffle cones with a height of 6 in. Their current net design has a diameter of 2.5 in. and a slant height of 6.25 in. Will this work for the desired height? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
responses
1) No; the height is too long by 0.4 in.
2) No; the height is too short by 0.3 in.
3) No; the height is too long by 0.7 in.
4) No; the height is too long by 0.1 in.
To determine if the current net design will work for the desired height, we need to compare the slant height to the desired height.
The slant height is given as 6.25 in. The desired height is 6 in.
The slant height is longer than the desired height by 6.25 - 6 = 0.25 in.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the slant height is longer than the desired height by 0.3 in.
Therefore, the correct response is: No; the height is too long by 0.3 in.
