to find lenth,height or radius of cone

Example:

1.The diameter of the base of a cone is 32cm.Its height is 12cm.Calculate its slant height.

l^2=h^2+r^2

l^2=(12)^2 +(16)^2

l^2=144+256

l=\[\sqrt{400}\]

l=20cm

Example2.The lenght of the cone is 20cm.Its radius is 16cm.Calculate its height. 

h^2=l^2-r^2

h^2=(20)^2 -(16)^2

h^2=400-256

h=\[\sqrt{144}\]

h=12cm

Example3.The length of the cone is 20cm.Its height is 12cm.Calculate its radius. 

r^2=l^2 -h^2

r^2=(20)^2 -(12)^2

r^2=400-144

r=\[\sqrt{256}\]

r=16cm
