Exercise 21 Page 713

Use the formula for the surface area of a cone.

119Ď€ cm^2

Practice makes perfect

We want to find the surface area of the given cone.

To calculate the surface area of a cone, we can use the formula where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height of the cone. S.A.=Ď€ rl+Ď€ r^2 We are told that the slant height of the cone equals 10cm. By substituting r=7 and l=10 into the formula, we can calculate the surface area of the cone.
S.A.=Ď€ rl+Ď€ r^2
S.A.=Ď€( 7)( 10)+Ď€( 7)^2
â–Ľ
Simplify right-hand side
S.A.=Ď€(7)( 10)+49Ď€
S.A.=70Ď€+49Ď€
S.A.=119Ď€
The surface area of the cone is 119Ď€ square centimeters.
