Answer:

42.06 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

2 sides = 2(2.7 ft × 3.2 ft) = 2 × 8.64 ft² = 17.28 ft²

Front + back = 2(2.1 ft × 3.2 ft) = 2 × 6.72 ft² = 13.44 ft²

Top + bottom = 2(2.1 ft × 2.7 ft) = 2 × 5.67 ft² = 11.34 ft²

Total area = 42.06 ft²

the volume of a cone is 120 cubic centimeters. the height of the cone is 4.5 centimeters. determine the radius of a cone

kolbaska11 [484]

<h3> given:</h3>

$v = 120 \: {cm}^{3}$

$h = 4.5 \: cm$

the radius of the cone.

<h3>solution:</h3>

$r = \sqrt{3 \frac{v}{\pi \: h} }$

$r = \sqrt{3 \times \frac{120}{\pi \times 4.5} }$

$r = 5.04627 \: cm$

$r = 5.05 \: cm$

hence, the radius of the given cone is 5.05 centimeters.
