In a right circular cone, the height, diameter, and slant height are related by the Pythagorean theorem.
The formula is:
slant height² = height² + (diameter/2)²
Given that the diameter is 16 cm, height is 15 cm, and slant height is 17 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
17² = 15² + (16/2)²
289 = 225 + 64
289 = 289
Therefore, the given dimensions are correct, and the height of the right circular cone is 15 cm.
what is the height of the right circular cone diameter 16cm, height 15cm slant 17cm
