Find the surface area of the cone in terms of π. Rest in comments.

OpenStudy (hlambach):

A. 112 π cm B. 128 cm C. 256π cm D 160π cm

OpenStudy (hlambach):

Now I am not getting that answer: Surface Area (SA) = Lateral Area (LA) + area of base (B) LA - 1/2 x 2πr x l LA = 1/2 x 2π x 3 x 17 LA = 51π B = πr^2 B = π x 3^2 B = 28.27433388 SA = (51π) + 28.27433388 SA = 79.27433388π

OpenStudy (jim766):

SA = pi*r*s + pi * r^2

OpenStudy (hlambach):

well, that sure makes a difference... haha

OpenStudy (jim766):

SA = 3*17 pi + 3^2pi

OpenStudy (hlambach):

ah okay... btw, to make the pi sign, press Alt 227 on your number pad :)

OpenStudy (jim766):

π cool

OpenStudy (hlambach):

OKay, how do i add the two pis? do?

OpenStudy (hlambach):

whoops, the do? wasnt supposed to be there :)

OpenStudy (jim766):

think of the π as a variable

OpenStudy (hlambach):

so π^2? how would i get rid of the ^2?

OpenStudy (jim766):

51π + 9π = 60π

OpenStudy (jim766):

just square the 3 not the π

OpenStudy (hlambach):

ahhhh, okay got it! Thanks!

OpenStudy (jim766):

yw

OpenStudy (jim766):

of course not one of your answer choices...

OpenStudy (jim766):

again...

OpenStudy (hlambach):

SA = 3*17 pi + 3^2pi SA = 3 x 17π + 9π SA = 60π

OpenStudy (hlambach):

?

OpenStudy (hlambach):

haha, ikr! my teacher is... yeah, just no... haha :)

OpenStudy (jim766):

its all good.... lol

OpenStudy (hlambach):

:) so,just to make sure, SA= 60π, right?

OpenStudy (jim766):

yes

OpenStudy (hlambach):

Sweet, okay thanks for all your help, another question is about to come up, though, haha

OpenStudy (jim766):

lol
