Okay first set up the equation
x
--- -2 = 5.5
-3
add over the 2
x
--- = 7.5
-3
now you need to multiply the denominator by the answer
(-3)(7.5) = x
-22.5 = x
The formula for the lateral surface area of a right circular cone is:

where r is the radius of the base, and l is the slant height.
Plugging in the values we get:
Hello ^w^
I believe the answer you are looking for is A
I found this answer by adding up the lengths of all the sides.
S -> T = 8
S -> R = 7
Q -> R = 6
P -> Q = 6
P -> T = 10
10 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 8 -> 37
A -> 37
If I am incorrect, please inform me.
Have a good day!
7. D
8. D
9. D
10.C
for 7 & 8 you use the equation

your points are (3,8) & (9,5)
so you plug the numbers in
y2= 5
y1=8
x2=9
x1=3
you subtract them get a fraction and that is your slope
9 & 10
use the equation

plug you numbers in for y1 and x2 m is your slope plug it in and that is your equation
