Find the slant height of the cone. The slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s lateral
surface. Show your work.

Answer:
Slant height = = 6.32 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s lateral surface (AC)
Diameter of base of cone is 4 in
Radius = diameter / 2 = 4/2 = 2 in
Hieght of the cone = 6 in
AB= 2 and BC = 6 , we need to find AC
ABC forms a right angle triangle, use pythagoren theorem
AC^2= AB^2 + BC^2
TAke square root on both sides
AC=

Given:
Diameter of the hole = 30 cm
To find:
The area of the hole.
Solution:
The radius of a circle is always half of the diameter. It is given that the diameter of the hole is 30 cm. So, the radius of the hole is:
Area of a circle is:
Putting and
in the above formula, we get
Therefore, the area of the hold is 706.5 square cm.
