what is the lateral area of the cone to the nearest whole number? the figure is not drawn to scale.
radius=80 m
height=60 m
a) 15,080 m^2
b) 25,133 m^2
c) 45,239 m^2
d) 50,265 m^2
The lateral area of a cone is given by the formula L = πr√(r^2+h^2), where r is the radius and h is the height.
Plugging in the values, we get L = π(80)√(80^2+60^2) ≈ 25,133 m^2.
Therefore, the answer is (b) 25,133 m^2.
