Answer:

Length = 55 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of rectangular floor= 605ft²

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Formula for area of rectangular floor= Length × width

Put the given into the formula.

605 ft² = x × 1/5x

605 ft² = x²/5

multiplying both sides by 5

605 ft² × 5 = x²/5 × 5

x² = 605 ft² × 5

= 3025 ft²

x= √3025 ft²

x= 55 ft

Put x into the unknown above.

Length= x

Width= 1/5x

Length = 55 ft

Width= (1/5)×55 = 11 ft

Find the total surface area of this cone, leaving your answer in terms of pi​
ra1l [238]

Answer:

I need numbers to do a step by step

but the formula for the surface area of a cone.

Firstly, you work out the circle, pi x radius squared.

then you work out the cone

You can now use the measurement of the side to find the area of the cone. The formula for the area of a cone is 3.14 times the radius times the side (πrl).

So the surface area of the cone equals the area of the circle plus the area of the cone and the final formula is given by:

SA = πr2 + πrl
