Question

jalen says that the height, radius, and diameter of a cone lie entirely on the base of the cone. what is jalens error? the base does not contain the height, the radius, or the diameter because it is a circle. the height does not lie on the base because it is perpendicular to the base. the diameter does not lie on the base because it contains a radius of the circle. the radius does not lie on the base because it contains the center of the base.

Explanation:

The base of a cone is a circle. The radius and diameter are line - segments on the base (the radius is from the center to the circumference and the diameter is across the circle through the center). But the height of a cone is the perpendicular distance from the vertex (the pointed top) to the base. So, the height is not on the base as it is perpendicular to the base.

Answer:

The height does not lie on the base because it is perpendicular to the base.
