I can solve this question there is only one hinderance that I need to overcome. Please help me to sort this out.

My query : When right angled triangle is turned around its height,

the height of the cone= height of the right angled triangle.

the base of the cone=?

slant height= hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.

Best Answer

Your cone will have a circular base, where the radius of the circle will be the width of your triangle.
