Just one question please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lateral area means the area of sides excluding bases

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you're correct.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you may use the direct formula : Lateral Area = \(\large \dfrac{\text{(Perimeter of base)x (Slant height)}}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, hold on.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're given \(\text{Slant height}\) already (=12) just find the \(\text{perimeter of base}\) and plugin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 48

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct ! plug that in the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, what is the formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used the lateral area formula to get 48.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \text{perimeter of base} = 8\times 6 = 48\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Lateral Area = \(\large \dfrac{\text{(Perimeter of base)x (Slant height)}}{2} = \dfrac{(48)\times (12)}{2}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simplify

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

288

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large \color{red}{\checkmark}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks! Do you have time for another question?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I'll try, ask...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use the hint as starting step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the perimeter of the base is 25 and the height is 24?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

This is a different problem, We're given a hint in the problem... lets use it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which is find the radius first.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1401504147159:dw|

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use pythagorean theorem and find the radius \(r\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the formula that I need to use? A=πr(r+h2+r2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

kindof, but lets first try and find the radius \(r\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Applying pythagorean theorem in that right triangle gives u : \(\large r^2 + 24^2 = 25^2\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

solve \(\large r\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be 7 or -7?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

radius is always positive so \(r = 7\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Next use below formula : Surface Area = \(\large \pi r^2 + \pi r l\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(r = 7 \\ l = 25\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

plug them in the formula and evaluate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

224 (pi)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow! Thank you man. I really appreciate it.
