Question 1118811: I have a bucket that is 90" across the top and 24" across the bottom.
Height from top to bottom is 36 inches.
What is the slope of each side ?
What does the slope become if all measurements remain the same except the bottom is 30" instead of 24" ?

I have a bucket that is 90" across the top and 24" across the bottom.
Height from top to bottom is 36 inches.
What is the slope of each side ?
R = large radius = 45"
r = small radius = 12"
:
This is a frustrum of a cone which we have some formulas, one of which is:
s = where
s = slope
a = difference between radii, 45-12 = 33"
h = height of the bucket, 36"
s =
s =
s =
s = 48.84" is the slope

What does the slope become if all measurements remain the same except the bottom is 30" instead of 24"?
If the bottom is 30, the small radius = 15", therefore
a = 45-15 = 30
s =
s =
s = 46.86" is the slope

The answer from the other tutor is giving you the length of the slanted sides of the bucket; I don't think that is what you wanted.
The slope of the sides is simply the ratio between the vertical change (the depth of the bucket) and the horizontal change (the difference between the radii of the top and bottom):
And for the second bucket, where the smaller radius is 15 instead of 12,
