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

If ƒ(x) = x + 2 and g(x) = 3x2 + 7x, find ....
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C

(f o g)(x) = 3x² + 7x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Points to remember</u>

<u>Composite functions</u>

Let f(x) and g(x) be the two functions then (f o g)(x) can be written as

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

<u>To find the value of (f o g)(x)</u>

Here f(x) =x + 2  and g(x) = 3x² + 7x

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

 = f(3x² + 7x)

 = 3x² + 7x + 2

Therefore the correct answer is option C

(f o g)(x) = 3x² + 7x + 2

Hi if u could help me that would be great, have a nice day!!!
LenaWriter [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>OVERVIEW</u>

Random sampling is when you take a sample of something completely at random. This is done to avoid bias and other stuff like that. It makes the data a lot more pure, real, and factual.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>CHOOSING THE ANSWER</u>

OPTION A: A SCHOOL NEWSPAPER ASKS TEACHERS IN THAT MIDDLE SCHOOL HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THE BEHAVIOR OF TWELVE YEAR OLD BOYS.

Does this seem very random to you? They're asking all the teachers who work at a certain junior high to talk about twelve year old boys. But, the teachers are definitely going to have some sort of bias towards twelve year old boys because they work with them, and since all of the samples are teachers, this is going to have biased data. Therefore, answer A is incorrect.

OPTION B: A NATIONAL SURVEY COMPANY PICKS ONE PHONE NUMBER FROM EACH AREA CODE IN AMERICA TO CALL AND ASK FOR AN OPINION ON CURRENT POLITICAL ISSUES.

This definitely seems a lot more random. There is only one phone number from each area code and there are many area codes in the United States so you get a bit of what everyone thinks about an issue. There is no bias because there is one random phone number and there are many different places this is done. Therefore, option B is correct.

OPTION C: MIGRANT WORKERS ARE SURVEYED ON THEIR OPINION OF MANDATORY HEALTH INSURANCE FOR COMPANIES.

This is not very random because they are asking a specific group of workers about a company and business ordeal. It is not very random because the migrant workers are specifically being asked, not random people. Therefore, option C is incorrect.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

<u>THE SOLUTION</u>

Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

The table represents a linear function. find the values of a,b, and c. Show your work.
viva [34]

Answer:

The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets describe the meaning of the linear function

- Linear function is represented by a line graphically

- The equation of the line is y = mx + c, where m is the slope

  of the line and c is the y-intercept (the point of intersection

  between the line and the y-axis is (0 , c))

- m = change of y/change of x

- We can find m from any two points on the line

* Lets use m to find a, b and c

- Use the points (3 , 8) and (5 , 9) to find m

∵ m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

∴ m = (9 - 8)/(5 - 3) = 1/2

- Find a by using points (a , 7) and (3 , 8) ⇒ (or (5 , 9))

∵ m = (8 - 7)/(3 - a) = 1/2

∴ 1/(3 - a) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3 - a = 2 ⇒ subtract 3 from both sides

∴ -a = -1 ⇒ × -1 both sides

∴ a = 1

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (7 , b) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (b - 9)/(7 - 5) = (b - 9)/2

∴ (b - 9)/2 = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 2(b - 9) = 2 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 2b - 18 = 2 ⇒ add 18 to both sides

∴ 2b = 20 ⇒ ÷ 2

∴ b = 10

- Find b by using points (5 , 9) and (c , 11) ⇒ (or (3 , 8))

∵ m = (11 - 9)/(c - 5) = 2/(c - 5)

∴ 2/(c - 5) = 1/2  ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ c - 5 = 4 ⇒ add 5 to both sides

∴ c = 9

* The values of a , b , c are ⇒ a = 1 , b = 10 , c = 9
