The correct option is: Option (C) 2Explanation:The slope formula is = m =

Insert the values in the above formula:
m =

Which is Option (C).
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.

Please take 1 minute, and really read the example solution
under problem #12. All of the other eight problems on the
sheet are solved in exactly the same way:
Multiply each side of the equation by the denominator of
the fraction ... the number under the variable (the letter).
This easy step will get you the answer to each of the
eight problems.
I can't help noticing that the title of the sheet is 'extra PRACTICE' .
If someone handed you the answers, then you would not get the
practice. That would be just like stealing from you, and would be
just plain mean.
