Question

The radius of the base of the right circular cone shown below is 5 inches and the height of the cone is 7 inches solving which of the gollowing equations gives the measure 0 of the angle formed by a height of the cone and a radius

Answer 1

Answer:

The required equation is $\tan\theta=\dfrac{7}{5}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The required figure is shown below:

It is given that the radius of the base is 5 inches and the height of the cone is 7 inches.

We need to given the equation which gives the measure of $\theta$.

Now consider the right angle triangle making an angle $\theta$.

$\tan\theta=\frac{\text{Opp}}{\text{Adj}}$

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{7}{5}$

Hence, the required equation is $\tan\theta=\dfrac{7}{5}$.
