If you unfurl the lateral "face" of a cone, you get the sector of a circle whose central angle subtends an arc with length L equal to the circumference of the cone's base, and a radius equal to the slant height s of the cone.

Since the diameter of the base is 18m, the circumference of the base is about 3.14\times18=56.52 meters, so this is the value of L.

You're given a slant height of s=15 meters.

Now, the following proportional relation holds for any circle:

\dfrac{\text{area of sector}}{\text{area of circle}}=\dfrac{\text{arc length of sector}}{\text{circumference of circle}}

This translates to

\dfrac A{\pi\times s9^2}=\dfrac s{2\pi s\times9}

(remember, we're talking about a sector of a circle with radius s and arc length 18\pi). Solving for A:

\dfrac A{81\times3.14}=\dfrac{15}{18\times15\times3.14}
A=\dfrac92=4.5

So the area of the lateral face is approximately 4.5 square meters.

PLS ANSWER !!!! <br><br> what is the formula when finding the slope given in two ordered pairs
Katarina [22]

Answer: Since you already know that the ordered pair is in the format of (x, y), then you can label one of the ordered pairs as 1 and kind of distribute it to get 1(x, y) = (x-sub1, y-sub1). Then just use the slope formula (y2-y1)/(x2-x1).
