Answer 10

Well, let's go through this step-by-step

Answer 11

What shape is the hat?

Answer 12

are you there? @chloeismyname3

Answer 13

The hat is in the shape of a cone

Answer 14

this is your equation
A2 = 2RH - H2

Answer 15

A^2 = 2(9)(12) - (12)(2)

Answer 16

Sorry, wrong one
2(pi)RH

Answer 17

A = 3.14(9)(12)

Answer 18

A = 339.12

Answer 19

339.12 in^2

Answer 20

nevermind i figured out the answer, but I will still give you a medal for helping thanks :)


This is what I got

The surface area of a cone (excluding the base) is pi*r*s, where r = radius and s = slant height
So in this case, we have pi*9*12 = 96*pi =~ 301.59 in^2

Answer 21

....

Answer 22

your answer is incorrect

Answer 23

Somehow you solved the equation wrong

Answer 24

how is it wrong?

Answer 25

@HourglassMage

Answer 26

Gah, wtf is up with OpenStudy. It is way to glitchy....hope you saw my response before it was deleted

Answer 27

Huh, it's still there, but some of my older replies were replicated and posted again. WTF, Openstudy??!!

Answer 28

So what would I have to change?

Answer 29

wait...what?sorry, you multiplied 9 x 12 incorrectly

Answer 30

it's 108, not 96

Answer 31

108 x pi(3.14) = 339.12

Answer 32

oh ok thanks

Answer 33

I just told you...what are you confused about?

Answer 34

OMG OPENSTUDY :|

Answer 35

ikr, it sucks

Answer 36

one last try...
9 x 12 = 108
108 x 3.14 = 339.12

Answer 37

You had multiplied 9 x 12 incorrectly

Answer 38

it would be

The surface area of a cone (excluding the base) is pi*r*s, where r = radius and s = slant height
So in this case, we have pi*9*12 = 108*pi =~ 339.12 in^2

Answer 39

exactly

Answer 40

You had originally gotten 309 or something, hence why we had to go through this :)

Answer 41

Ok Thank you so much. Yeah that was just a typo sorry lol

Answer 42

yw, np :)
