QuestionA right cone has a slant height of 20 feet, and the diameter of the base is 24feet. What is the height, h, of the cone?2024A. 544B. 16 ftC. 12 ftD. 256 ft

Respuesta :

height of the cone can be found by,

[tex]h^2=l^2-r^2[/tex]

l,slant height = 20

diameter =24

so radius =12

[tex]h^2=20^2-12^2[/tex][tex]h^2=256[/tex]

h=16

so the height is 16ft

Thus the answer is B (16 ft)
