Question 1137432: A cone frustum is inscribed in a sphere of radius 13. If one of the bases of the frustum is a great circle of the sphere, and the other base has radius 12, what is the slant height. Answer by ikleyn(52781) (Show Source):
1. The height of the frustum is equal to the distance from the center of the sphere to the smaller base of the frustum
h = = = 5 units.
2. Hence, the slant height is equal to
H = = = = . ANSWER
