What is the surface area of the cone? image below!

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

use the formula SA = pi*r^2 + pi*r*s where r = radius s = slant height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can you check my answer please

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not done yet though

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SA= pi*8^2+pi*8^2*10^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i dont know what to do from then

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is 8^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there*

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

and the pi*8^2*10^2 should be pi*8*10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i dont square anything?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

SA = pi*r^2 + pi*r*s SA = pi*8^2 + pi*8*10 SA = pi*64 + pi*8*10 SA = pi*64 + pi*80 SA = 64pi + 80pi what's next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

think of it like 64x + 80x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what do you do to simplify that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

64x + 80x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

combine ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep, to get what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait thats the answer huh?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so SA = pi*r^2 + pi*r*s SA = pi*8^2 + pi*8*10 SA = pi*64 + pi*8*10 SA = pi*64 + pi*80 SA = 64pi + 80pi SA = 144pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final answer: 144π in^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right? or wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks mister :)
