The formula to find the surface area of a cone is SA =(pi);r^2 + (pi)rl. In the problem, the diameter of the base is given as 13.5 ft. That would make the radius 13.5 / 2 or 6.75 ft. The slant height, or l, is 16.8 ft. The formula would become SA = (3.14)(6.75^2) + (3.14)(6.75)(16.8). The solution would then be 499.14 ft^2.

How do you find the height of a cone if you have the slant height and the diameter?

The height would be The square root of the square of the slant surface length minus the square of the radius of the cone at the base.


How do you find the surface area of a circular cone with a height of 3.76 ft and a base diameter of 5.74?

Entire surface area of a cone = (pi*radius2)+(pi*radius*slant length) Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the slant length


A conical tent of 56m base diameter requires 3080sqm curved surfacefind it's height?

Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem we have here! To find the height of the conical tent, we first need to calculate the slant height using the curved surface area formula: π * base diameter * slant height = curved surface area. So, in this case, the slant height would be 3080 / (π * 56) = approximately 17.5m. Then, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height by considering the radius, slant height, and height as a right triangle. Happy calculating!

Why is it helpful to know the slant height of a pyramid to find its surface area?

Knowing the slant height helps because it represents the height of the triangle that makes up each lateral face. So, the slant height helps you to find the surface area of each lateral face.

How do you find the slant height of a cone if you have surface lateral and radius?

Uisng the lateral area and tha radius, you should be able to find the height of the cone. Using the height and radius as the legs of a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem. The hypotenuse is the slant height.


What is the formula to find the area of a cone?

Base surface = pi*r2 Curved surface = pi*r*l where l is the slant height If the vertical height (h) is given rather than the slant height, then use Pythagoras: l2 = h2 + r2


Why do you use slant height to find curve surface area?

When you make a cone, you fold the cone along its slant height and thus you get the cone which is curved. So when you need to find the curved surface area (Which excludes the base) you need to use the same slant height that you folded the paper along which gave you the cone. Check out the links attached. It has some illustrations which will help.
