Question

What's the lateral area of a right circular cone if the diameter of the base is 4 m and the slant height of the cone is 15m? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. A. 214m2 B. 107m2 C. 94m2 D. 188m2

Answer 1

We are tasked to solve for the lateral area of a right circular cone given that the base diameter measurement is 4 meters and the slant height measurement is 15 meters. To solve this problem, we need to use the formula below:
Lateral Area = pi*r (√h²+r²)
where r is half of the diameter measurement such as:
radius = r = diameter / 2
r = 4/2
r = 2 meters
Solving for the lateral area, we have it:
Lateral Area = 3.14*2 (√15²+2²)
Lateral Area = 94 m²

The answer is the letter "C".
