To clarify, it seems you're asking for the radius of the base of the cone rather than a "length," as the dimensions you've provided refer to a cone's height, slant height, and base diameter rather than length.
However, the base "length" you've mentioned as 2 might be a bit confusing. Typically, we refer to the base of a cone by its radius (r) or diameter (d). If we assume that the base length refers to the diameter (d), then the radius would be half of that:
\[
r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1
\]
Now, we can check the validity of the given heights. We can use the Pythagorean theorem as a relationship between the height \(h\), radius \(r\), and slant height \(s\):
\[
s^2 = r^2 + h^2
\]
Plugging in the values:
\[
4^2 = 1^2 + 6^2
\]
Calculating the squares:
\[
16 = 1 + 36
\]
\[
16 = 37
\]
This does not hold true. It appears that there’s a mistake in the dimensions provided because the height cannot simultaneously be 6 and have a slant height of 4 with a base diameter of 2.
Since the calculated values do not provide a correct geometric relationship, please verify the dimensions you provided for the cone.
