To find the height and the slant height of a cone, we can utilize the Pythagorean theorem. The dimensions you provided (10 inches and 4 inches) likely refer to the radius and the height of the cone, but it's not specified.

Let's assume:

- The height (h) of the cone is 4 inches.
- The radius (r) of the base of the cone is 10 inches.

The slant height (l) can be calculated using the formula:

\[
l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}
\]

Plugging in the values:

1. Substitute \( r = 10 \) and \( h = 4 \):

\[
l = \sqrt{10^2 + 4^2}
\]
\[
l = \sqrt{100 + 16}
\]
\[
l = \sqrt{116}
\]
\[
l \approx 10.77 \, \text{inches}
\]

So, with these assumptions:
- Height (h) = 4 inches
- Slant height (l) ≈ 10.77 inches

If the dimensions refer to something different, please clarify!
