What is the approximate surface area of the cone shown here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have attached the file

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hint: formula for surface area of a cone is \[SA = \pi r^2 + \frac 23 \pi r h\]

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm nevermind..slant height is given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what is the formula

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

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

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

r is raidus s is slant height

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1342444345939:dw|

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

pi is constant of course

OpenStudy (amistre64):

oh, surface area lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 298.3??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got it right

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

hmm i got 298.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for the help!!!

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it's just the value of pi i guess

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yep you're right. i think you used 3.14 for pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i did

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

yep that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
