Find the slant height of the cone. The slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s lateral
surface. Show your work.
1 answer:
Answer:
Slant height = = 6.32 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s lateral surface (AC)
Diameter of base of cone is 4 in
Radius = diameter / 2 = 4/2 = 2 in
Hieght of the cone = 6 in
AB= 2 and BC = 6 , we need to find AC
ABC forms a right angle triangle, use pythagoren theorem
AC^2= AB^2 + BC^2
TAke square root on both sides
AC=

The plus-minus sign represents that there are two possible outcomes.
In this case, we have
. When we branch out the possibilities we got 2 values: 
and 
Those are the roots of this equation. When they ask their product, they want you to multiply both numbers.
When we multiply them:
When we FOIL the we get:
Simplify:
So the product of the two roots of this equation is 6.
