The height of the cone ( $h$ ) is $6$ .

Explanation:

Sure, Nissa, This one is quite easy.

The height ( $h$ ) of the cone, the radius ( $r=d/2=16/2=8$ ) of the base of the cone and the length ( $l=10$ )of the side of the cone form the three sides of a right-angled triangle with $l$ as the hypotenuse.

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the sum of the squares of the two sides of the right angle equals the square of the hypotenuse.

Hence:

$h^2+r^2=l^2$

Since we know that $r=8$ and $l=10$ ,

$h^2+8^2=10^2$

$h^2+64=100$

Subtract $64$ from both sides.

$h^2=100-64$

$h^2=36$

$h=sqrt36$

$h=6$

Hence the height of the cone ( $h$ ) is $6$ .
