What is the surface area of a cone used 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest tenth if necessary radius 6 height 11
The formula to calculate the surface area of a cone is given by:
Surface Area = π * r * (r + s),
where r is the radius of the base of the cone and s is the slant height.
To find the slant height, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height (s) is the hypotenuse, the radius (r) is one of the short sides, and the height (h) is the other short side. So, the Pythagorean equation can be written as:
s^2 = r^2 + h^2.
Given:
Radius (r) = 6
Height (h) = 11
π = 3.14
Calculating the slant height:
s^2 = 6^2 + 11^2
s^2 = 36 + 121
s^2 = 157
s ≈ √157
s ≈ 12.53 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Now, substitute the values into the surface area formula:
Surface Area = 3.14 * 6 * (6 + 12.53)
Surface Area = 3.14 * 6 * 18.53
Surface Area ≈ 346.0718
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
Surface Area ≈ 346.1
Therefore, the surface area of the cone is approximately 346.1 square units.
Wrong
Apologies for the error. Let's recalculate the surface area of the cone using the correct formula.
The formula for the surface area of a cone is:
Surface Area = π * r * (r + s),
where r is the radius of the base of the cone and s is the slant height.
Given:
Radius (r) = 6
Height (h) = 11
π = 3.14
To find the slant height (s), we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height (s) is the hypotenuse, the radius (r) is one of the short sides, and the height (h) is the other short side. So, the Pythagorean equation can be written as:
s^2 = r^2 + h^2.
Calculating the slant height:
s^2 = 6^2 + 11^2
s^2 = 36 + 121
s^2 = 157
s ≈ √157
s ≈ 12.53 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Now, substitute the values into the surface area formula:
Surface Area = 3.14 * 6 * (6 + 12.53)
Surface Area = 3.14 * 6 * 18.53
Surface Area ≈ 346.7472
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
Surface Area ≈ 346.7
Therefore, the surface area of the cone is approximately 346.7 square units.
Wrong it's a right angle cone
I apologize for the confusion. For a right circular cone, the slant height can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. Let's calculate the surface area of the cone using the correct formula.
Given:
Radius (r) = 6
Height (h) = 11
π = 3.14
To find the slant height (s), we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The slant height (s) is the hypotenuse, and the radius (r) and height (h) are the other sides. So, the Pythagorean equation can be written as:
s^2 = r^2 + h^2.
Calculating the slant height:
s^2 = 6^2 + 11^2
s^2 = 36 + 121
s^2 = 157
s ≈ √157
s ≈ 12.53 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Now, we can calculate the surface area of the cone using the formula:
Surface Area = π * r * (r + s)
Surface Area = 3.14 * 6 * (6 + 12.53)
Surface Area = 3.14 * 6 * 18.53
Surface Area ≈ 346.0692
Rounding to the nearest tenth:
Surface Area ≈ 346.1
Therefore, the surface area of the right circular cone is approximately 346.1 square units.
