To find the volume of the cone in the picture where S=13 cm and R=5 cm

Step one ____
Find H using the area of a triangle = (b•h)/2
Find H by using the Pythagorean theorem r^2+h^2=s^2

1 answer

Step one:

First, let's find the height (H) of the cone using the Pythagorean theorem:

r^2 + h^2 = s^2
5^2 + h^2 = 13^2
25 + h^2 = 169
h^2 = 144
h = √144
h = 12 cm

So, the height (H) of the cone is 12 cm.
