I NEED HELP ASAP PLEASE AND THANK YOU! The diameter of the base of a right cone is 8 cm. If the total surface area of the cone is 164(pi) cm2, what is the length of the slant height? (Will Medal and Fan for best answer)

@Ashleyisakitty If you could help me i would very mich appreciate it! :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha could you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[A=\pi r (r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the formula for the surface area

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on this is a multiple choice question so these are the answers i just need to narrow it down 12.5 cm 19.5 cm 37 cm 45 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1434408597776:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay the formula will help me hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i kept getting 9.05 for the slant height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we need to find the height using the formula and then use pythagorean to find the slant length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 9.05 as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but it isnt one of the answers. You have to square root 17 so i was wondering if i should just put 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh, that's strange

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*19.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its close to 17

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhh 164pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't see that pi, let me try again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 37

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what i got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

looks good to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Me too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ill go with that thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem
