Where,

r is the radius

h is the height

l is the slant height

The area of the curved (lateral) surface of a cone = πrl

Note:

A cone does not have uniform (or congruent) cross-sections. (more about conic section here)

Example 1: A cone has a radius of 3cm and height of 5cm, find total surface area of the cone.

Solution:

To begin with we need to find slant height of the cone, which is determined by using Pythagoras, since the cross section is a right triangle.

l2 = h2 + r2

l2 = 52 + 32

l2 = 25 + 9

l = √(34)

l = 5.83 cm

And the total surface area of the cone is:

SA = πr2 + πrl

SA = π · r · (r + l)

SA = π · 3 · (3 + 5.83)

SA = 83.17 cm2

Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is 83.17cm2

Example 2: The total surface area of a cone is 375 square inches. If its slant height is four times the radius, then what is the base diameter of the cone? Use π = 3.

Solution:

The total surface area of a cone = πrl + πr2 = 375 inch2

Slant height: l = 4 × radius = 4r

Substitute l = 4r and π = 3

3 × r × 4 r + 3 × r2 = 375

12r2 + 3r2 = 375

15r2 = 375

r2 = 25

r = 25

r = 5

So the base radius of the cone is 5 inch.

And the base diameter of the cone = 2 × radius = 2 × 5 = 10 inch.

Example 3: What is the total surface area of a cone if its radius = 4cm and height = 3 cm.

Solution:

As mentioned earlier the formula for the surface area of a cone is given by:

SA = πr2 + πrl

SA = πr(r + l)

As in the previous example the slant can be determined using Pythagoras:

l2 = h2 + r2

l2 = 32 + 42

l2 = 9 + 16

l = 5

Insert l = 5 we will get:

SA = πr(r + l)

SA = 3.14 · 4 · (4+5)

SA = 113.04 cm2

Example 4: The slant height of a cone is 20cm. the diameter of the base is 15cm. Find the curved surface area of cone.

Solution:

Given that,

Slant height: l = 20cm

Diameter: d = 15cm

Radius: r = d/2 = 15/2 = 7.5cm

Curved surface area = πrl

CSA = πrl

CSA =π · 7.5 · 20

CSA =471.24 cm2

Example 5: Height and radius of the cone is 5 yard and 7 yard. Find the lateral surface area of the given cone.

Solution:

Lateral surface area of the cone = πrl

Step 1:

Slant height of the cone:

l2 = h2 + r2

l2 = 72 + 52

l2 = 49 + 25

l = 8.6

Step 2: Lateral surface area:

LSA = πrl

LSA = 3.14 × 7 × 8.6

LSA =189.03 yd2

So, the lateral surface area of the cone = 189.03 squared yard.

Example 6: A circular cone is 15 inches high and the radius of the base is 20 inches What is the lateral surface area of the cone?

Solution:

The lateral surface area of cone is given by:

LSA = π × r × l

LSA =3.14 × 20 × 15

LSA = 942 inch2

Example 7: Find the total surface area of a cone, whose base radius is 3 cm and the perpendicular height is 4 cm.

Solution:

Given that:

r = 3 cm

h = 4 cm

To find the total surface area of the cone, we need slant height of the cone, instead the perpendicular height.

The slant height l can be found by using Pythagoras theorem.

l2 = h2 + r2

l2 = 32 + 42

l2 = 9 + 16

l = 5

The total surface area of the cone is therefore:

SA = πr(r + l)

SA = 3.14 · 3 · (3+5)

SA = 75.36 cm2

Hi i am having trouble with this question can some one help me on it i heard this app really helps you understand question i mig
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

n = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Guess your question is to find n

Given:

-6 + 3n = -9

-6 + 3n = -9

Add 6 to both sides

-6 + 6 + 3n = -9 + 6

3n = -3

Divide both sides by 3

n = -3 / 3

= -1

n = -1

Check:

-6 + 3n = -9

-6 + 3(-1) = -9

-6 - 3 = -9

- 9 = - 9

Reptile [31]

they will fill 23 baskets. we get this by adding the number of golf balls each of them get to get the total number of golf balls. then, we divide the total number of golf balls by 34 because that's how many they will be able to put into each basket. it will look a little like this: 408+374=782

782/34=23 baskets
