Question

Find the length of the height of the cone.

Answer 1

Answer:

h = 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

$h^{2} =(17)^{2} -(8)^{2} =289-64=225$

$h=\sqrt{225} =15$

Hope this helps

Answer 2

h = 15cm

Explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this.

We can start by using the formula and plugging in what we have:
h^2 + 8^2 = 17^2

We simplify it to:
h^2 + 64 = 289

Then, we subtract 64 from both sides:
h^2 = 225

Then we take the square root of both sides to get h by itself:
h = √225
h= 15

So, the height is 15 cm
