The diagram shows a cone of radius 5 cm and slant height 13 cm Calculate the perpendicular height h of the cone

3 answers

Pythagorean Theorem:

In a triangle, side squared + side squared = hypotenuse squared

5^2 + h^2 = 13^2

Solve for h (height).
5^2 + h^2= 13^2
25+?=169=169-25=144.=12.
Am I correct?
