Why do you need to FIND the slant height if you have the [lateral height and] slant height?
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.
You need some information about the height of the pyramid and the formula will depend on whether you have the vertical height or the slant height or the length of a lateral edge.
The lateral area is 188.5 m2
The slant height cannot be larger than the base radius.
Why do you need to FIND the slant height if you have the [lateral height and] 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.
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.
The lateral surface area of a right circular cone with a radius of 12cm and a slant height of 20cm is approximately 754cm2
The "slant height" is called the lateral height.There is no formula. However, if you find the radius of the base and the height of the cone, you can form a triangle. Now use the Pythagorean theorem. Radius2 + height2 = lateral height2.

pi x radius x slant height

Lateral area: Twice the side of the square times the slant height. Surface area: The side of the square squared plus twice the side of the square times the slant height. a=side of square b=slant height L.A.=2(ab) S.A.=(a)(a)+(2(ab))
