I Need help solving this area problem. @mathstudent55 @ganeshie8
First find the circumference of the circle base
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
Then use Heron's formula to find the area of a triangle.
\(\large LA_{cone} = \pi r L\) |dw:1405062882263:dw|
so it would be 2*pi*9 = 56.54 C= 56.548 aprx. 54.55 ?
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.
Where are you getting the 2 from?
Circumference formula?
All you need is this: pi * r * L
565.486 or .49
I'd say 565.5
Therefore, it's D. 565. 7 ... Idk where their .7 came from?
Me neither, but that is the closest answer by far.
Thank you :)
