A cook wants to cover the side of a cone-shaped funnel with parchment paper to avoid any leaks or spills. The funnel has a diameter of 6 inches and a slant height of 4 inches. How many square inches of parchment paper is needed to cover the side of the funnel? Use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
To find the area of the side of the funnel, we need to find the circumference of the base and multiply it by the slant height.
The circumference of the base can be found using the formula C = πd, where d is the diameter of the base.
The diameter of the base is given as 6 inches, so the circumference is C = 3.14 * 6 = 18.84 inches.
Now, we can find the area of the side of the funnel by multiplying the circumference by the slant height: A = 18.84 * 4 = 75.36 square inches.
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the number of square inches of parchment paper needed to cover the side of the funnel is 75.36 square inches. Answer: \boxed{75.36}.
