Question 622512: What's the volume of a right cylinder with a diameter of 10, which I know the radius needed is 5, and the slant height 13?
The slant height throws me off. I know I need the height but how do I find the height when I'm given the slant height. i didn't even know there was slant height in a cylinder. Sorry to sound so ignorant about this. Thanks in advance.

Slant height has nothing whatever to do with a cylinder. Now it is possible that they are talking about the slant height of a cone that has the same base and height as your cylinder. Then you can use the slant height and the radius as the hypotenuse and one leg of a right triangle as inputs to Pythagoras so that you can get the height of the cone and thereby the height of the cylinder.
Hint: 5-12-13 is a Pythagorean triple.
