Jalen says that the height, radius, and diameter of a cone lie entirely on the base of the cone. What is Jalen’s error?

A cone’s radius and diameter are segments in its circular base. Its height, however, runs from the base to the vertex and is perpendicular to the base; it is not entirely on the base. Therefore, Jalen’s error is saying that the height lies entirely on the base. The correct choice is “The height does not lie on the base because it is perpendicular to the base.”
