Answer:

ST = 12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

As RA is parallel to ET, the angle in R is equal to the angle in T, and the angle in A is equal to the angle in E, so the triangle RAS is similar to the triangle SET.

If RT is 21 units, we have that RS + ST = 21 -> RS = 21 - ST

Using a rule of three with the sides of the triangle (as they are proportional), we have:

RS / ST = AR / ET

(21 - ST) / ST = 6 / 8

4 * (21 - ST) = 3*ST

84 - 4*ST = 3*ST

7*ST = 84

ST = 12 units

Use a net to find the surface area of the cone to the nearest square centimeter. Use 3.14 for pi (Round to nearest whole number)
Mariana [72]

Given:

The radius of the base of the given cone = 5 cm

The slant height of the cone = 19 cm

To find the surface area of the given cone.

Formula

The surface area pf the given cone is,

where, r be the radius and

l be the slant height.

Now,

Taking, r = 5, l = 19 and π = 3.14 we get,

sq cm

or,  sq cm

or,  sq cm

Rounding off to the nearest square centimeter, we get;

Hence,

The surface area of the cone is 377 sq cm.
