Answer:

D

Explanation:

Remark

This is an incredibly beautiful problem! It is solved mostly by algebra. r = 1 and the height will therefore be 2

Equations

l^2 + r^2 = l^2

l is the slant height.

Solution

SA = π * l * r + π r² = π(1 + √5) Divide both sides by π

Find l

l * r + r^2 = 1 + √5

l^2 = r^2 + h^2

l^2 = r^2 + (2r)^2

l^2 = 5r^2

l = √5 * r

Now go back to this equation to find r

l * r + r^2 = 1 + √5 Substitute the value for l

√5 r * r + r^2 = 1 + √5 On the left pull out r^2

r^2 (1 + √5) = 1 + √5 Divide by 1 + √5

r^2 = 1 Take the square root on both sides

sqrt(r^2) = sqrt(1)

r =1

Therefore h = 2

Volume of the cone.

V = 1/3 * π r² h

V = 1/3 * π 1² 2

V = 2/3 * pi
