Answer:

2nd friend heading west

Step-by-step explanation:

This is actually pretty easy to explain.

You and a friend are near a tree and decide to walk away from it. At the beggining you walked 15 yards and your friend too, and then, there's the turn of event. You walked 8 yards toward north east, and your friend 8 yards towards south west.

The key to know which is further from the tree is the angle of turning of both. We need to calculate the component in x from both persons, and then, add it to the previous 15 yards. This way we will know who is further.

Let's begin with the 1°, the one who's heading east:

X = 15 + 8 cos45° = 20.66 yards

Now the friend heading west:

X = 15 + 8 cos40° = 21.13 yards

With these results we can conclude that the 2nd friend is further from the tree.

Hope this helps

<h2>\red{Solution} \blue \longrightarrow</h2>

Total surface area of cone is 176π

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Surface area of curved surface of a cone is give by π⋅r.l , where r is the radius and l is the slant height of the cone.

Hence surface area of curved surface of a cone is π×8×14=112π .

As surface area of base is π×82=64π .

Hence total surface area is 112π+64π=176π
