Answer:
The slant height is 20m.
Explanation:
Formula for slant height = sqrt(Height^2 + Radius^2)
Using this, we can plug in the given values and solve:
[tex]\sqrt{16^2+12^2} = \sqrt{400} \\[/tex]
Factor the number:
[tex]\sqrt{400} = \sqrt{20^2}[/tex]
Apply the radical rule ([tex]\sqrt{a^2} =a, a\geq 0[/tex]):
[tex]\sqrt{20^2} =20[/tex]
In conclusion, 20m is the slant height.
hope this helps!
