I Need help solving this area problem. @mathstudent55 @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First find the circumference of the circle base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, draw a triangle, the base of the triangle is the same length of the circumference. The other 2 legs are a length of 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then use Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(\large LA_{cone} = \pi r L\) |dw:1405062882263:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 2*pi*9 = 56.54 C= 56.548 aprx. 54.55 ?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The lateral surface area of a cone is the product of the radius of the base, pi, and the slant height. In the figure above, L is the slant height.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Where are you getting the 2 from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Circumference formula?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

All you need is this: pi * r * L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

565.486 or .49

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I'd say 565.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Therefore, it's D. 565. 7 ... Idk where their .7 came from?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Me neither, but that is the closest answer by far.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you :)
