how do you find the radius of a cone
To find the radius of a cone, you will need to measure the diameter of the circular base of the cone. Once you have the diameter, divide it by 2 to get the radius.
Alternatively, if you know the slant height and the height of the cone, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the radius. The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse (slant height) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (radius and height). You can rearrange the equation to solve for the radius:
radius = √(slant height^2 - height^2)
