Question

find the surface area to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

i got the area of the cylinder already im stuck on the cone part

Answer 2

Looks like you have to do this in pieces.

For the cone, you only need the lateral area (the base is "inside" -- you could not paint the base of the cone)

First, any idea how to find the height of the cone ?

Answer 3

I *think* the entire figure is 12 feet tall.

Answer 4

uh sorta

Answer 5

if 12 feet is from the top of the cylinder to the pointy end of the cone,
and the cylinder is 6 feet of that 12 feet, that leaves how much for the height of the cone ?

Answer 6

6

Answer 7

ok.
so (if I am reading the diagram correctly) the height is 6
the radius of the cone is the same as the radius of the cylinder= 5
use pythagoras to find the slant height
