To find the slant height of a cone, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem. The slant height can be found by taking the square root of the sum of the square of the height and the square of the radius of the cone. In this case, the slant height can be found by taking the square root of the sum of the square of the height (a) and the square of the radius (b).
Using the given values:
a = 16
b = 7.2
Slant height = √(a^2 + b^2)
Slant height = √(16^2 + 7.2^2)
Calculating:
Slant height = √(256 + 51.84)
Slant height = √307.84
Therefore, the slant height of the cone is approximately 17.55.
To find the slant height of a cone, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In the case of a cone, the slant height is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the height and the radius of the cone. The height of the cone is not given in the question, so we cannot directly calculate the slant height. However, we can use the information given in the answer choices.
Let's examine each answer choice:
a) 16: We do not have enough information to determine if this is the correct answer.
b) 7.2: We do not have enough information to determine if this is the correct answer.
c) 12.6: We do not have enough information to determine if this is the correct answer.
d) 11.3: We do not have enough information to determine if this is the correct answer.
Since we do not have any additional information to solve the problem, we cannot determine the correct answer.
