💡 Analysis & Explanation
Parameter Extraction ▼
The diameter is provided as 100 cm, logically indicating the base radius (r) equates to precisely 50 cm.
Slant Height Derivation ▼
The standard formula for Curved Surface Area (CSA) is π * r * l. Inserting the known values gives: 6500π = π * 50 * l. Solving for the slant height (l) equates it to 130 cm.
Pythagorean Implementation ▼
For a cone, height (h), radius (r), and slant height (l) follow the theorem h = √(l² - r²).
Final Calculation ▼
Mapping the digits: h = √(130² - 50²) = √(16900 - 2500) = √14400. The precise root evaluates to 120.
Conclusion ▼
The calculated perpendicular vertical height equals 120 cm.
