Find the slant height of a cone with r = 3, surface area of 89 and pi = 3.14. Answer 6.45 13.24 28.26 60.74

OpenStudy (anonymous):

surface area=pi r(r+l) l is the slant height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 89=3.14 times radius ^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeap

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would divide 89 by 3.14 then what?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we appear to be looking for a height in order to apply the pythag thrm to this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to use the theorum?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

maybe, but this is much cooler i think http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cone+r+%3D+3++surface+area%3D+89

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool did youdo that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Since the height of the cone is not given, u have to use the formula. Pythagoras theorem isnot applicable here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok but i keep getting the wrong answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wolfram did it; i just typed in the information :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool
