We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height (l) of the cone:
l^2 = h^2 + r^2
where h is the height of the cone and r is the radius of the circular base.
Substituting the values given in the problem, we get:
l^2 = 16^2 + 11^2
l^2 = 256 + 121
l^2 = 377
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
l ≈ 19.4 meters
Therefore, the slant height of the cone is approximately 19.4 meters.
find the slant height
A right circular cone is shown. The height of the cone is 16 meters and the radius of the circular base is 11 meters.
