Please help with B and C!! Will fan and medal! You are creating a cone-shaped hat for a kid’s costume. You measure the circumference of the child’s head and find it to be 20.5 inches. a. Determine the radius of the hat. R=3.2627in b. You want the hat to have a slant height of 8 inches. Draw an image that models this situation and include all of the measurements you know. c. How much material would you need to make the hat?

OpenStudy (pawanyadav):

Circumference=2Πr Where r is radius of hat. Then it is conical in shape so total material used is lateral surface area of this cone which is (Πrl) and l=8 inches.
