The volume of a right circular cone is 100π cm 3 and its height is 12 cm. Find its slant height.?

Correct Answer: 13 cm

Explanation:

Volume = (1/3)πr2h
According to the question,
(1/3)πr2h = 100π
⇒ (1/3)πr2 x 12 = 100π
⇒ r2 = 25
∴ r = √25 = 5 cm
∴ Slant height (l) = √h2 + r2
= √122 + 52
= √169 = 13 cm
