Question

I-10 is being designed in the shape of a cone with a slant height of 18.5 feet and a diameter of 20 ft approximately how much material is needed to cover the lateral area of the tent without any overlap

Answer 1

Step 1

The lateral area of any shape is the area of the shape without its base area

The expression for the area of a cone is

`\begin{gathered} \text{TSA of a cone = lateral area + }are\text{a of circular base} \\ TSA=\text{ }\pi* r* l\text{ +}\pi* r^2 \end{gathered}`

The answer is 580.9 square cm
