Question

If the slant height of a right cone is 5 inches, and the radius of its base is 3 inches, what is the lateral area of the cone?

Answer 1

Answer: 15 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, The required lateral surface of the cone is 15π inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height of the cone is given to be 5 inches

The radius of base of the cone is given to be 3 inches

We need to find the lateral surface area i=of the cone

The lateral surface area of the cone is given by the formula :

Lateral surface area = π × radius × slant height

⇒ Lateral surface area = π × 3 × 5

⇒ Lateral surface area = 15π inches²

Therefore, The required lateral surface of the cone is 15π inches²
