Exercise 12 Page 755

Use the formulas for the surface area and volume of a cone.

Surface Area: About 201.2 m^2
Volume: About 157.1 m^3

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given 3-D figure.

We identify this solid as a cone. Let's first calculate the surface area and then the volume.

Surface Area

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 To find the slant height, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. When doing this, the slant height l is the hypotenuse. The height and radius of the cone are the legs. We are given that r= 5 and h= 6. Let's use the given values to calculate l.
a^2+b^2=c^2
5^2+ 6^2=l^2
Solve for l
25+36=l^2
61=l^2
sqrt(61)=l
l=sqrt(61)
Now that we know the slant height, we can substitute r and l into the surface area formula.
S=π rl+π r^2
S=π( 5)( sqrt(61))+π( 5)^2
Evaluate right-hand side
S=π(5)(sqrt(61))+π (25)
S=5sqrt(61)π+25π
S=(5sqrt(61)+25)π
S=201.222931...
S≈ 201.2
The surface area of the cone is approximately 201.2m^2.

Volume

To calculate the volume of a cone, we can use the following formula. V= 13π r^2 h Here r is the radius and h is the height of the cone. Let's substitute these given values into the above formula and calculate the volume.
V=1/3π r^2 h
V=1/3π ( 5)^2 ( 6)
Evaluate right-hand side
V=1/3π(25)(6)
V=150π/3
V=50π/1
V=50π
V=157.079632...
V≈ 157.1
The volume of the cone is approximately 157.1m^3.
