To find how slant height is different from the height of cone
Answer to Problem 4CR
Slant height is different from height of cone, the explanation is followed.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A right-angled cone.
Calculation:
There is 3 dimensions in a cone. These are:
- Radius of cone
- Slant height of cone.
- vertical height of cone or altitude of cone.
The Difference between is the vertical height (or altitude) which is the perpendicular distance from the top down to the base whereas The slant height which is the distance from the top, down the side, to a point on the base circumference. The slant height is longer than the vertical height of the cone.
The slant height of the cone by the formula:
Slant height =
where r is the base radius and h is the altitude.
