What is the height of the right circular cone the bottom line is 6 the side of the cone is 5 and the middle is 4

Answer 1

To find the height of the right circular cone, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

In a right circular cone, the side is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, and the bottom line and the middle line are the legs of the triangle.

Let h be the height of the cone.

According to the Pythagorean theorem,

(side)^2 = (bottom line)^2 + (middle line)^2

Substituting the given values,

5^2 = 6^2 + 4^2

Simplifying,

25 = 36 + 16

25 = 52

This equation is not correct, which means that the given measurements cannot form a right circular cone.
