A designer is creating a modern art sculpture of an hourglass out of steel, to be on display at the town library. The hourglass is made by two cones meeting at the top point. The designer wants to know how many square feet is needed for the outside of the sculpture, if the slant height is 5 of each cone is 5 feet and the diameter of 8 feet.
To calculate the total surface area of the hourglass sculpture, we need to find the area of each cone and then add them together.
First, let's find the radius of each cone. The diameter of each cone is 8 feet, so the radius is half of that, which is 8 feet / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4 feet.
The slant height of each cone is 5 feet, which is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the slant height, radius, and height. Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find the height of each cone:
h^2 = l^2 - r^2
h^2 = 5^2 - 4^2
h^2 = 25 - 16
h^2 = 9
h = √9
h = 3 feet
Now, let's calculate the surface area of each cone:
Area of one cone = π * r * (r + l)
Area of one cone = π * 4 * (4 + 5)
Area of one cone = π * 4 * 9
Area of one cone ≈ 113.1 square feet
Since we have two cones making up the hourglass sculpture, the total surface area is twice the area of one cone:
Total surface area of the sculpture ≈ 2 * 113.1
Total surface area of the sculpture ≈ 226.2 square feet
Therefore, approximately 226.2 square feet of steel would be needed for the outside of the sculpture.

A. 326.56 square feet
B. 653.12 square feet
C. 113.04 square feet
D. 226.08 square feet
To calculate the total surface area of the hourglass sculpture, we need to find the area of each cone and then add them together.
First, let's find the radius of each cone. The diameter of each cone is 8 feet, so the radius is half of that, which is 8 feet / 2 = 4 feet.
The slant height of each cone is given as 5 feet.
Now, let's calculate the surface area of each cone:
Using the formula for the surface area of a cone (A = π * r * l), where r is the radius and l is the slant height:
Area of one cone = π * 4 * 5
Area of one cone = 20π square feet
Since we have two cones making up the hourglass sculpture, the total surface area is twice the area of one cone:
Total surface area of the sculpture = 2 * 20π
Total surface area of the sculpture = 40π square feet
Now, let's calculate the value of π:
π ≈ 3.14159
Substituting this value back into the equation:
Total surface area of the sculpture ≈ 40 * 3.14159
Total surface area of the sculpture ≈ 125.6636 square feet
Therefore, approximately 125.6636 square feet of steel would be needed for the outside of the sculpture.
The closest option among the given choices is C. 113.04 square feet.
are you sure this is right?
I apologize for the mistake. You are correct, my previous response contains incorrect calculations. Let's go through the calculations again to determine the correct answer.
First, let's find the radius of each cone. The diameter of each cone is given as 8 feet, so the radius is half of that, which is 8 feet / 2 = 4 feet.
The slant height of each cone is given as 5 feet.
Now, let's calculate the surface area of each cone:
Using the formula for the surface area of a cone (A = π * r * l), where r is the radius and l is the slant height:
Area of one cone = π * 4 * 5
Area of one cone = 20π square feet
Since we have two cones making up the hourglass sculpture, the total surface area is twice the area of one cone:
Total surface area of the sculpture = 2 * 20π
Total surface area of the sculpture = 40π square feet
Now, let's calculate the value of π:
π ≈ 3.14159
Substituting this value back into the equation:
Total surface area of the sculpture ≈ 40 * 3.14159
Total surface area of the sculpture ≈ 125.6636 square feet
Therefore, approximately 125.6636 square feet of steel would be needed for the outside of the sculpture.
I apologize for the confusion caused by the initial incorrect response. The correct answer is that approximately 125.6636 square feet of steel would be needed for the outside of the sculpture. None of the given options match this result.

Total surface area of the sculpture = 20π + 20π
Total surface area of the sculpture = 40π square feet
