how do you find the height of a cone
To find the height of a cone, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
First, you need to know the radius of the cone (the distance from the center to the edge of the base). Then, you need to know the slant height of the cone (the distance from the tip of the cone to the edge of the base).
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the slant height in this case) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (the height and the radius).
The formula to find the height of a cone is:
height = √(slant height^2 - radius^2)
You can plug in the values for the slant height and radius, then simply solve for height to determine the height of the cone.
