To find the radius of the cone, you need to use the Pythagorean theorem.
The height (h) and the length (l) form a right triangle. The base (b) is one side of the triangle, so the other side can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where a is the height, b is the base, and c is the length.
Using the given values:
12^2 + b^2 = 10^2
144 + b^2 = 100
b^2 = 100 - 144
b^2 = -44
Since b^2 is negative, it means that there is no real solution for the radius of the cone.
