Question

The height of a cone is 5 inches and its slant height is 13 inches, then its base

diameter is ………….. inches​

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius be r

Height(h) = 5 inches

Slant height(l) = 13 inches

l² = h² + r² inches

r = √(l² - r²) inches

r = √(13² - 5²) inches

r = √(169 - 25) inches

r = √144 inches

r = 12 inches

so the diameter is 2r = 2 x 12 = 24 inches

Hope this answer will help you...
