The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.
<h3>What is the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim?</h3>If you draw a line along the middle of the cone, you'd finish up with two right triangles and the line even bisects the angle between the sloping sides. The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exists in the hypotenuse of a right triangle with one angle calculating 38.5°. So, utilizing trigonometry and allowing x as the measurement of the shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim.
Cos 38.5 = 40 / x
Solving the value of x, we get
Multiply both sides by x
Divide both sides by
simplifying the above equation, we get
x = 51.11cm
The shortest distance between the tip of the cone and its rim exits 51.11cm.
