How do you find the surface area of a cone?
A cone has two surfaces, lateral surface and its circular surface at the base.The surface area of a cone is the sum of the areas of these two surfaces, i.e. (1) area of the lateral surface and (2) area of its base.Let us consider a right circular cone to find its surface area.The lateral surface area of a right circular cone is π r lwhere,r is the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone, andl is the lateral height of the coneThe surface area of the bottom circle of a cone is the same as for any circle, π r2Thus the total surface area of a right circular cone is: π r l + πr2 OR π r (l + r)
Can the surface area formula for a right cone is the same as the surface area formula of an oblique cone?
No, the formula is far from simple - requiring elliptical integrals.
What is the surface area of a right cone with a radius of 8 and a slant height of 15?
The surface area of a right cone with a radius of 8 and a slant height of 15 is: 377 units squared.
What is the surface area of a right cone with a slant height of 6 and a radius of 7?
A right cone with a slant height of 6 and a radius of 7 has a total surface area of about 245.04 square units.
What is the formula for the surface area of a right circular cone?
Surface Area = Pi*radius(radius + slant height)
