What else can I help you with?
What is the lateral area of a cone with a height of 10meters and a slant edge of 13meters in terms of pie?
The curved surface area is 108pi m2
How do you find the radius of circle with area 144pi?
Equation for the area circle = pi x radius squared If the area is 144pi, then you need to find the square root of 144, which is 12. Therefore, radius = 12
What happens the surface to volume ratio when the cell becomes larger?
When cells get smaller, the volume (as well as mass) decreases faster than the surface area so the surface:volume increases. Cells with a high surface:volume are more effective in receiving nutrients through diffusion. A cell (assume perfect sphere) with radius 2 has a surface area of 16pi and volume of 32pi/3. A cell with radius 3 has a surface area of 36pi and volume of 108pi/3. Also relatively speaking, volume can be thought of as y=x3 and surface area as y=x2. When there is a change in x, the change is more dramatic in the volume, so small cells have high ratios and large cells have low ratios.
