The circumference of the base of the cone is 40П cm, and the height is 21 cm. Find the length of the generatrix of the cone

Let us define its radius through the circumference at the base of the cone.

L = 2 * π * R = 40 * π.

R = 20 cm.

The height of the OB of the cone is projected to the center of the circle, then in the right-angled triangle AOB, according to the Pythagorean theorem, AB ^ 2 = AO ^ 2 + OB ^ 2 = 400 + 441 = 841.

AB = 29 cm.

Answer: The length of the generatrix of the cone is 29 cm.
