if the cone was 13 cm and d = 10 what's the length of the cone

1 answer

To find the length of the cone, we need to use the Pythagorean theorem. The formula for the length of a cone is:

Length = √(r^2 + h^2)

Given that the diameter (d) is 10 cm, we can find the radius (r) by dividing it by 2:

r = d/2
r = 10/2
r = 5 cm

Given that the cone height (h) is 13 cm, we can now find the length:

Length = √(5^2 + 13^2)
Length = √(25 + 169)
Length = √194
Length ≈ 13.93 cm

Therefore, the length of the cone is approximately 13.93 cm.
