Answer

l = 24cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the cone = 3cm

Surface area = 81 pi squared cm

Surface area of the cone is given as

$\text{Surface area = }\pi rl\text{ + }\pi\cdot r^2$

l = h

r = 3cm

$\begin{gathered} 81\pi\text{ = }\pi(rl+r^2) \\ 81\pi\text{ = }\pi(3\cdot l+3^2) \\ 81\pi\text{ = }\pi(3l\text{ + 9)} \\ \text{Divide both sides by }\pi \\ (81\pi)/(\pi)\text{ = }(\pi)/(\pi)(3l\text{ + 9)} \\ 81\text{ = 3l + 9} \\ \text{Collect the like terms} \\ 81\text{ - 9 = 3l} \\ 72\text{ = 3l} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 3} \\ l\text{ = }(72)/(3) \\ l\text{ = }24\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the slant height is 24cm

The radius on a one is 3 cm and the surface area is 81pi squared. Find the slant height of this cone.
