Question

Bill needs to find the area of the ground covered by a conical tent. The tent is 12 feet tall and makes a 70° angle with the ground. Which expression can be used to find the area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the area of the cone we need to find the radius first.

tan 70=r/12

r=12tan 70

area of a circle is given by:

A=πr²

thus the area of the ground covered by the tent will be:

A=π(12tan70)²

The answer is  

A] A=π(12tan70°)²
