Konery wants to make their waffle cones with a height of 6 in. Their current net design has a diameter of 2.5 in. and a slant height of 6.25 in. Will this work for the desired height? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.(1 point

Yes, the current net design will work for the desired height of 6 in.

Explanation: The slant height of the cone is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with height and radius as the other two sides. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can calculate the height:

height = sqrt(6.25^2 - 1.25^2) = sqrt(39.0625 - 1.5625) = sqrt(37.5) ≈ 6.1 in

Since the calculated height is greater than the desired height, the current net design will work for a height of 6 in.

could you show me the steps
Sure!

Given:
Diameter (d) = 2.5 inches
Slant height (l) = 6.25 inches
Desired height (h) = 6 inches

To find the actual height of the cone, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that:
l^2 = r^2 + h^2

Where:
l = Slant height
r = Radius (half of the diameter)
h = Height

Given in the problem:
l = 6.25 inches
d = 2.5 inches, so r = 1.25 inches

Substitute the values into the equation:
6.25^2 = 1.25^2 + h^2
39.0625 = 1.5625 + h^2
37.5 = h^2
h = √37.5 ≈ 6.1237 inches

Comparing this to the desired height:
Desired height = 6 inches

Actual height ≈ 6.1237 inches

The actual height is longer than the desired height by:
6.1237 - 6 ≈ 0.1 inches

Therefore, the correct answer is: No; the height is too long by 0.1 in.
