<h3>Andy is not correct because when adding the 2 fractions, he needs to create fractional parts with the same denominator.  NOTHING can be added unless the units are the same.  The denominator of a fraction are the units.  He needed to make 3/5 = 12/20 and 1/4 = 5/20.  Adding these together would be 17/20, making 3/20 of them NOT action or comedy.  17/20 + 3/20 = 20/20 or the total.</h3>

Find the lateral area of the cone in terms of π.
Andreyy89

Answer:

15\pi\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lateral area of the cone is equal to

LA=\pi rl

where

r is the radius of the base

l is the slant height

we have

r=3\ cm

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem find the slant height

l^{2}=3^{2} +4^{2}\\ \\l^{2}=25\\ \\l=5\ cm

substitute in the formula

LA=\pi (3)(5)=15\pi\ cm^{2}
