If you were given the height of a cone and the radius of the circular base, how do you find its slant height?

Radius of circ base (squared) + height (squared) = slant (squared)
Then Square r. it
Yeah, Pythag. theorem :)

s = sqrt[r^2 + h^2]
s = slant height
r = radius
h = height

the slant height is the hypotenuse. Use Pythagorean theorom

by using the phythogoreas theorem...
h=root of (height of the cone)square + (radius)square

Pythagorean theorem
height sq. + radius sq. = sl. height sq.
