Question

Can someone help me please. (TROLLS WILL BE REPORTED!!!)

Answer 1

Answer:

B.) 54π units²

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the height of the cone. We can do this using the Pythagreom Theorem.

a² + b² = c²                              <----- Pythagreom Theorem

3² + b² = 15²                            <----- Insert side lengths

9 + b² = 225                            <----- Solve 3² and 15²

b² = 216                                   <----- Subtract 9 from both sides

b = 14.7 units                          <---- Take square root of 216

Now, we can use the surface area of a right cone equation to find the final answer.

r = 3 units

h = 14.7 units

SA = πr(r + √(h² + r²))                              <----- Surface Area equation

SA = π(3)(3 + √(14.7² + 3²))                     <----- Insert values

SA = π(3)(3 + √(216 + 9))                         <----- Solve 14.7² and 3²

SA = π(3)(3 + √225)                                <----- Add 216 and 9

SA = π(3)(3 + 15)                                     <----- Take square root of 225

SA = π(3)(18)                                            <----- Add 3 and 15

SA = 54π units²                                     <----- Multiply 3 and 18
