Konery wants to make their waffle cones with a
height of 6 in. The current net design has a diameter
of 2.5 in. and a slant height of 6.25 in. Will this work
for the desired height? Round the answer to the
nearest tenth.
To determine if the current net design will work for the desired height of 6 inches, we need to calculate the circumference of the base of the cone.
The slant height of the cone is given as 6.25 inches, and the diameter of the base is given as 2.5 inches.
The circumference (C) of the base of the cone can be calculated using the formula:
C = πd
where d is the diameter of the base.
Plugging in the values, we get:
C = π * 2.5 inches = 7.85 inches (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Now, let's compare the calculated circumference to the desired height of 6 inches:
C > 6
Since the calculated circumference is greater than the desired height, the current net design will work for the desired height of 6 inches.
