Geometry/////

Answer 1

Answer:

A = 388.58 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

For a cone whose base has a radius R, and a hypotenuse S, the area is:

A = pi*R^2 + pi*R*S

Where pi = 3.14

In this case, we can see that the diameter is: 15cm

Then the radius, half of the diameter, is:

R = 15cm/2 = 7.5cm

The hypotenuse is 9cm, then S = 9cm

A = 3.14*(7.5cm)^2 + 3.14*(9cm)*(7.5cm) = 388.575 cm^2

Rounding to two decimal places, we need to look at the third one, which is a five, so we need to round up:

A = 388.58 cm^2
