Question

Anita needs to construct ten cones for a class project. How many square feet of material will she need? Use 3.14 for π. Enter your answer in the box. Th radius is 6 ft and the height is 12 ft.

Answer 1

Assuming that Anita needs hollow right circular cones, we are solving for its lateral surface area, which is given by the formula πr√ (h²+r²), where r is the radius and h is the height.

r = 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft

Solving for the lateral surface area of one cone:

LSA = (3.14) (3) [√ (12²+3²) ] = 116.52 sq ft.

Since she needs 10 cones:

10 * 116.52 sq. ft = 1,165.2 sq ft.

She will need 1,165.2 sq ft of material.

Hope this helps you :)
