  1. Answer:
    The answer to your question is 9 cm
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Data
    slant height = 15 cm
    height = 12 cm
    radius = ?
    Process
    To solve this problem, use the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height is the hypotenuse, the height is the long leg and the radius is the short leg.
                c² = a² + b²
              slant height² = height² + radius²
    -Solve for radius
              radius² = slant height² – height²
    -Substitution
              radius² = 15² – 12²
    -Simplification
               radius² = 225 – 144
               radius² = 81
    -Result
               radius = 9 cm
