What is the approximate surface area of the larger cone? 1544.4 square yards 978.5 square yards 2,162.3 square yards 1,103.1 square yards

OpenStudy (amistre64):

are these spose to be similar cones?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

surface area is defined as area of sides and bases right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

area of a circle should already be known or at least heard of the area of a cone i believe is pi r s these sound familiar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (amistre64):

linear measures scale by a common ratio; so 30s=42 when s=7/5 r of the other cone is then 9*7/5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

pi r^2 + pi r s given s = 42 and r = 63/5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or pi r (r+s)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry but formula of cone is \[A=1/3.\pi.r(r+l)\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the "formula of a cone" ???

OpenStudy (amistre64):

http://math.about.com/od/formulas/ss/surfaceareavol_2.htm i think you might be confusing volume in there someplace

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry. . .
