Do you know the formulas for the surface area and lateral surface area of a cone?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
SA = πr2 + πrl
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So in your problem, r = 12 and l = 21. Substitute and solve.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sa=3.14*12*2 + 3.14*12*21

what did i do wrong? @Mertsj
OpenStudy (mertsj):
I'm not sure. What do you get for 3.14 x 12^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
452.16
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Do you know that the formula is:
\[SA=\pi r^2+\pi rl\]

And what about pi x12x21?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
791.28
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Add those two numbers together.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1243.44
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So if you carried more digits in pi you would get 1244.1 so now we have narrowed it down to 2 or 4.

Now hunt up your formula for lateral surface area of a cone and plug into that.

OpenStudy (mertsj):
Where did you get that?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Google "lateral surface area of a cone"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i did and that came up

Lateral surface area of a cone = π × r × l,
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Plug into that
OpenStudy (mertsj):
You've already done it once, haven't you? It the first part of the formula for the total surface area.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3.14*12*21 = 791.28
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So what is your answer?
