We can use the formula for the volume of a cone to solve for the radius of the cone, and then use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height.
The formula for the volume of a cone is:
V = (1/3)πr^2h
Substituting the given values, we get:
28.2 = (1/3)(3.14)r^2(2)
Simplifying and solving for r, we get:
r^2 = (28.2 / 3.14) / (2/3.14) = 4.5
r ≈ 2.12 (rounded to two decimal places)
Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height (l):
l^2 = r^2 + h^2
l^2 = 2.12^2 + 2^2
l^2 ≈ 8.5
l ≈ 2.92 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the approximate slant height of the cone is 2.92 feet.
