Question

An image of an ice cream cone is shown below.



The slant height of the cone itself is 3.5 inches, and the radius of the ice cream scoop on top is 0.75 inches. What is the approximate surface area of the entire ice cream cone with the scoop of ice cream?
Answer
3.8π square inches
3.2π square inches
4.3π square inches
5.4π square inches

Answer 2

help

Answer 3

Care to show us your work where you got C? that way, we can explain to you what you did wrong

Answer 4

what you mean C? i dident get anything

Answer 5

Hint:

\[SA = \pi r s + \pi r^2\]

r = radius
s = slant height

Answer 6

everyone keeps telling me that but idk what that is

Answer 7

2nd Hint

\[\pi = pi\]\[r = .75\]\[s = 3.5\]

Answer 8

i give up can you show me the work pleasssse

Answer 9

i will understand better that way

Answer 10

You don't know how to substitute numbers for variables into the formula and solve? If you can't do that, then you don't need to be in Geometry. You need to re-sign up for Algebra again.

Answer 11

Not my fault i have problems......i dont see why yu cant show me how to do the work.

Answer 12

And I don't see why you can't continue solving after I've given you an obvious hint.

Answer 13

Cuz i dont know how to start the problem man :/

Answer 14

You start with the given information and the formula that I posted above. You insert the given information into the formula. Then you perform operations such as multiplication and simplification to come up with a value for the surface area. If you cannot do any of those things, then you won't get very far in your Geometry course. If you're looking for an answer, I won't give it to you.

Answer 15

@Hero I understood it perfectly. Thank you, I had to do this problem as well.

Answer 16

Awesome! That's what I like to hear.

Answer 17

How did you find this question?

Answer 18

Google, I had the same question as this guy.

Answer 19

I didn't even know you could find these questions on google. That would explain why I would see mystery people on here sometimes.

Answer 20

Yep, Openstudy seems to be the most viewed result in most occasions as well. I like it because I can find people like you who will give you the formula so you don't have to ask the same questions twice. :)

Answer 21

Oh that's awesome

Answer 22

I wrote you a testimonial. :D
