Why does the radius and height of cones always form a right angle?

they don't. most likely in the level of math you're taking, it is assumed that all cones are right cones

Are two cones with the same height always similar?
No. You need to have the same vertex angle, or have the same ratio between the height and radius of the cones in order to have similar cones.
How do you find the total area if you only know the height and radius?
It depends on the shape for which you want the area. The area of both cones and cylinders are completely defined by height and radius.
Can two right cones with the same height and base radius have different lateral areas?
No, they cannot.
What is the formula to find at cones volume?
a cone's volume>>> V = 1/3 [ (pi)*(radius*squared)*(height) ] so volume equals , (one third) of (pi) times (radius squared) times (height)
How do you find the radius of a cone knowing only the volume?
I cannot imagine you could. both the radius and the height are considered in it's volume formula. this stands to reason as two cones of different radii can have the same volume, by the larger radius one having a smaller height and vice versa
How can you find the ratio of radius of two cones when you have the ratio of volumes of that two cones?
You cannot because the volumes of the cones also depend on their heights.
What is the ratio of the radius of the cylinder to the radius of the cone?
There is no ratio of the radius of the base cone to the radius of the base of the cylinder. If they are the same and the height of the cones is the same the ratio of the radius of their bases is 1:1 ant the ratio of the heights is 1:1 and the ratio of the volumes (Vcone:Vcyclinder) is (1/3 π r2 h):(πi r2 h) or 1/3

Is there a radius on a rectangular prism?
No, only on shapes with circles such as cones and spheres.
Surface area of pryamids and cones?
The surface area of a cone: SA = pi*r² + pi*r*s (r is radius, s is slant height) The surface area of a pyramid: SA = [1/2 * Perimeter * Slant Height] + [Base Area]
What is the formula for the surface area of a truncated cone?
For a circular cone: sqrt( (R-r)^2 + h^2) where: R = radius of larger end r = radius of smaller end h = height of truncated cone For cones of other shapes the average of the area of the top and bottom surfaces times the height (perpendicular to the plane of the top/bottom)
What types of slopes do cinder cones have?
Cinder cones generally have a very steep slope. This slope is also considered gentle compared to the cones' short height.
