How do you find the diameter of a cone when only given the lateral area and the slant height?
Suppose the lateral area is A square units and the slant height is L units.
Unless you are very good at visual imagery, I suggest you try actually doing the following. You don't need to be particularly accurate but it will help you understand it better.
Cut the cone from its vertex to the base by a straight line. Open up the cone and lay it flat. This will form a sector of a circle with radius L units. The area of this sector is the lateral area of the cone. Also the arc of the sector formed the circumference of the base of the cone.
Suppose this sector subtends an angle of x degrees at its centre (what used to be the apex of the cone). That is, the sector is (x/360) of a whole circle.
The area of sector = pi*L^2*(x/360) square units = lateral area = A
Rearranging gives x = 360*A/[pi*L^2]
Then length of arc = 2*pi*L*(x/360)
Now, this length forms the circular base of the cone, so its diameter is L*(x/360).
Therefore, substituting for x gives, d = L*a/[pi*L^2} = a/pi*L

Which of the formulas would find the Lateral Area of a right cone where are is the radius and s is the slant height?
The formula to find the lateral area of a right cone is given by ( LA = \pi r s ), where ( r ) is the radius of the base and ( s ) is the slant height. This formula calculates the curved surface area of the cone, excluding the base. To use it, simply multiply the radius by the slant height and then by (\pi).
What is the height of each lateral face called?
The height of each lateral face of a three-dimensional geometric shape, such as a pyramid or a prism, is called the "slant height." In the case of a triangular prism, for example, the slant height refers specifically to the height of the triangular lateral faces. It is different from the vertical height, which is measured perpendicular to the base.
What is the slant height of a roofin the shape of a square pyramid having a lateral area of 836 square feet and a base side length of 22 feet?
To find the slant height of a square pyramid, we can use the formula for the lateral area, which is given by ( \text{Lateral Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter of base} \times \text{Slant height} ). The perimeter of the base for a square pyramid with a side length of 22 feet is ( 4 \times 22 = 88 ) feet. Setting the lateral area to 836 square feet gives us the equation: ( 836 = \frac{1}{2} \times 88 \times \text{slant height} ). Solving for the slant height yields ( \text{slant height} = \frac{836 \times 2}{88} = 19 ) feet.
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.

No, the slant height is the from the top vertex to the base of the base of the pyramid, it forms a 90 degree angle with the base and slant height. The lateral edge is literally the lateral (side) edge.

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.
