Given:
Radius of the base of the cone = 12 in.
The slant height of the cone = 15 in.
To find:
The lateral surface area of the given cone.
Solution:
The lateral surface area of the cone is:
Where, r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the slant height of the cone.
Putting , we get
The lateral surface area of the cone is 180π in ² and the missing value for the blank is 180.
The area of a circle is represented by the equation:
We know that the diameter is two times the radius:
So if we know that the diameter of the circle is 24m, we can divide this by two in order to get the radius:
-->
So then we can plug this radius in to the equation for the area of a circle:
We are told to use 3.14 as pi, and not pi itself, so let's plug in 3.14 for pi:
Now we know that the area of this circle is 452.16 square meters.
