The slant height of a right cone is the distance from the apex to

  • A.the centre of the base circle
  • B.the midpoint of the axis
  • C.the centre of gravity of the solid
  • D.a point on the base circle

Answer: D

Correct answer: a point on the base circle

The slant height is the distance from the apex to any point on the circumference of the base, measured along the surface of the cone, and by symmetry it is the same for every such point. It is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose other two sides are the vertical height and the base radius, so it always exceeds both.
