Could someone please help? (Question on image)
If you will solve this equation for x and post the answer, then I will help you complete the problem. 5^2 + 12^2 = x^2 We need x for the slant height of the cone. @kaioken360
Like @Directrix said we would find the slant height... \(\Huge{5^{2}+12^{2}=c^{2}}\) Simplify... \(\Huge\color{orange}{25+144=c^{2}}\) Add.... \(\Huge\color{green}{169=c^{2}}\) Now we need square root 169... \(\Huge\color{red}{\sqrt{169}=c}\) What is c?
338?
Incorrect....we need to find a number that multiples itself to equal 169 so it can not be bigger then the number....
hint: \(\textit{surface area of a cone}=\pi r\sqrt{r^2+h^2}+\pi r^2\qquad \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height \end{cases}\)
13
I had in mind for the OP to find the slant height. Then, use the formula TA = pi * r * L = pi * r^2 where L is the slant height.
13 is correct for the slant height
