Explain how the altitude of a right cone is related or not related to the slant height of the same cone.

The altitude of the right cone is actually related to the slant height of the similar cone. The slant height of the cone can be computed using the altitude and radius of the base, by this formula:

slant height = sqrt[r^2+h^2]

We can furthermore, establish other relationships within the parts of the cone using the formula stated above.
