Question

The lateral area of a cone is 555 pi cm^2. The radius is 37 cm. What is the slant height to the nearest tenth of a centimeter?

Answer 1

Slant height = 15

Explanation:

Well the lateral area of a cone is equal to πrl, where r = radius and l = slant height. So if the radius is 37, you will have the equation:

37π * l = 555π

Start by crossing out π

37 * l = 555

l = 15

This might be wrong since it is so clean, and the question asks to simplify.
