5. Surface Area of Cones

Continue to next subchapter

Exercise 23 Page 637

Use the formula for the surface area of a cone.

188.5 yd^2

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is a cone.

To calculate the surface area of a cone, we can use the known formula where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height of the cone. S=π rl+π r^2 Looking at the diagram, we know that the radius of the cone's base is 3 yards and that the slant height of the cone equals 17 yards. By substituting r with 3 and l with 17 into the formula, we can calculate S.

S=π rl+π r^2

r= 3, l= 17

S=π( 3)( 17)+π( 3)^2

▼

Evaluate right-hand side

Calculate power

S=π(3)( 17)+π(9)

Multiply

S=51π+9π

Add terms

S=60π

Use a calculator

S=188.495559...

Round to 1 decimal place(s)

S≈ 188.5

The surface area of the cone is approximately 188.5 square yards.
