You know height. That alone is not enough to determine the base radius of a cone. Along with height, you must also know either volume or slant height.

That's impossible. You have to also know the volume or a side length or some other measurement; just think about it, it could be really skinny or really fat but still just as tall.

Yea it's impossible to tell you need to know the length of something else like a side or something.
