Question

Kinsey wants to make waffle cones with a height of 6 in. Their net design has a diameter of 2.5 in and a slant height of 6.25 in will this work for the desired height
Answered by oobleck
but 2.5^2 + 6^2 = 6.5^2

Yes, this will work for the desired height of 6 inches. The slant height of 6.25 inches is greater than the height of 6 inches, so the net design will be able to form a cone with the desired height.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the two sides of a right triangle should be equal to the square of the hypotenuse. In this case, 2.5^2 + 6^2 = 6.5^2, which means that the given dimensions of the net design do not form a right triangle. Therefore, it is not possible to create a cone with a height of 6 inches using these dimensions.
