Answer:

  6√5 ≈ 13.42 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis, a radius, and the edge marked 12 cm together form a right triangle, of which the axis is the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem applies.

  6² +12² = axis² = 180

  axis = √180 = 6√5 ≈ 13.42 . . . cm

The length of the axis is 6√5 cm, about 13.42 cm.
