Question

what is the vertical height of interverted cone with the diameter of 6 cm and the slant height of 6cm?

Answer 1

"interverted" or "inverted?"

The vertical height of an inverted cone with base diameter 6 cm and slant height of 6 cm can be found using the Pyth. Thm. Draw or imagine a triangle whose height is h and whose base is 3 cm (not 6) and whose hypotenuse is 6 cm.

Then h^2 + (3 cm)^2 = (6 cm)^2, or h^2 + 9 cm^2 = 36 cm^2, or h^2 = 27 cm^2.

Then the height of the triangle, as well as of the cone, is h = +√27, or

h = +3√3.
