To find:The slant height of a cone
Answer to Problem 26HP
The slant height of a cone is
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
Consider the radius and height of a cone is known.
The objective is to describe the method to find the slant height of the cone.
Let l be the slant height of the cone, r be the radius of the cone and h be the height of the cone.
The slant height l, radius r and the height h from a right angle
Use Pythagorean Theorem
Since height cannot be negative, so
Conclusion:Therefore, the slant height of the cone is
