2 answers:
Length of the radius of the cone is equals to 5 cm.
<h3>What is right circular cone?</h3>
" A right circular cone is the 3 dimensional solid shape, which has an axis that is perpendicular to its circular base."
Formula used
Pythagoras theorem
(Hypotenuse)² = (adjacent side)² + (opposite side)²
According to the question,
Slant height 'l' of the cone = 13cm
height 'h' of the cone = 12cm
Let 'r' be the radius of the base of the cone.
As per the diagram,
InΔABC,
Apply Pythagoras theorem, we get
(l)² = (h)² +(r)²
Substitute the values of 'l' and 'h' in the formula we get,
(13)² =(12)² + (r)²
⇒ (r)² = 169 - 144
⇒ r =√25
⇒ r = 5cm
Hence, length of the radius of the cone is equals to 5 cm.
