Tofind:the reason oblique cone does not have a slant height.

Answer to Problem 36PPS
The slant height of an oblique cone cannot be defined because, the slant height is not unique in an oblique cone.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept used:
An oblique cone is a cone whose axis is not perpendicular to the base. In an oblique cone, the distance from the vertex to a point on the edge of the base is not a constant.
Calculation:
An oblique cone is a cone whose axis is not perpendicular to the base. In an oblique cone, the distance from the vertex to a point on the edge of the base is not a constant.
Hence, the slant height of an oblique cone cannot be defined because, the slant height is not unique in an oblique cone.
