To find the height of the cone, we can use the formula for the lateral area of a cone and the Pythagorean theorem. The height of the cone is approximately 11.3 cm.
To find the height of the cone, we need to use the formula for the lateral area of a cone, which is given by:
Lateral Area = πrL
where r is the radius of the base and L is the slant height of the cone. Since the diameter of the cone is 10.2 cm, the radius is half of that, which is 5.1 cm. We can rearrange the formula and solve for L:
L = Lateral Area / (πr) = 198.6 cm² / (3.14 x 5.1 cm) ≈ 12.4 cm
Now that we have the slant height, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height of the cone. The height (h) and the slant height (L) form a right triangle with the radius (r) as the hypotenuse. Applying the Pythagorean theorem:
h² + r² = L² = h² + (5.1 cm)² = (12.4 cm)²
From this equation, we can solve for h:
h² = (12.4 cm)² - (5.1 cm)²
After evaluating this equation, we find that h ≈ 11.3 cm, so the height of the cone is approximately 11.3 cm to the nearest tenth of a centimetre.
