MEDAL!!! What are the lateral area and the surface area of the cone shown below? Round the answer to the nearest tenth. The figure is not drawn to scale. A. LA=829.4FT^2;SA=1,209.5FT^2 B. LA=829.4FT^2;SA=3,041.1FT^2 C. LA=380.1FT^2;SA=1,209.5FT^2 D. LA=380.1FT^2;SA=3,041.1FT^2

Same with the first cone except they give you r and l, you need to find h. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for h, then use the equation for a cone to solve for the LA and SA. r = 11 feet l = 24 feet \[r^{2} + h^{2} = l^{2}\] \[SA = \pi r ^{2} + \pi r l\] \[LA = \pi r l\]

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

11^2+H^2=24^2

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

121+H^2=576

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

-121

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

H^2=455

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, now take the square root to find h.

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

21.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that's correct

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

WHATS THE NEXT STEP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you have r, h, and l. You are asked to find SA and LA.

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

HOW DO I DO THAT?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the SA and LA equations. \[SA = \pi r^{2} + \pi r l\] \[LA = \pi r l\]

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

ok so pi(11)+pi(11)l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't forget to square the r for the area of the circle

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

sorry forgot square the r?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pi (11) ^2 + pi (11) l

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

379.94+34.54 l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply 34.54 by your value for l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

L is 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SA = pi (r)^2 + pi (r)(L) LA = pi (r) (L)

OpenStudy (jessiegonzales):

828.96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got SA = 1209.51 and LA = 829.38
