If you knew that the slant height of the cone = 13 cm, and the radius of the cone = 5 cm, how would you find the height of the cone?
Step 1:______
Step 2:______
Step 3:______
Step 4:______
the options:
set up the equation 5^2+h^2=13^2
square 5 and 13 to get 25+h^2=169
subtract 25 from both sides to get h^2=144
Take the square root of both sides h=12cm
Step 1: Set up the equation 5^2 + h^2 = 13^2
Step 2: Square 5 and 13 to get 25 + h^2 = 169
Step 3: Subtract 25 from both sides to get h^2 = 144
Step 4: Take the square root of both sides to get h = 12 cm
Therefore, the height of the cone is 12 cm.
