Question

Find the surface area of a conical grain storage tank that has a height of 43 meters and a diameter of 14 meters. Round the answer to the nearest square meter.

A. 959 m2
B. 1,113 m2
C. 2,072 m2
D. 2,533 m2

Answer 1

a = a'base + a'lateral = \pi*r^2 + \pi*r*g

g = (h^2 + r^2)^1/2

g = 43.57

a =\pi*(4)^2 + \pi*7*43.57
a = 1008.41
a ≈ 1.113
B.
