Question

A roof on a castle tower is shaped like a cone with a diameter of 12 feet and has a slant height of 13 feet one bundle of Shingles covers 32 ft.² how many bundles should you buy to cover the roof? What is the surface area of the roof ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

d = diameter = 12ft

r = d/2 = 12/2 = 6ft

Slant height = 13ft

Surface area of cone = π r 2 + π L r

Where L is the slant height of the cone π = 22/7

SA = 22/7×6×6+22/7×13×6

SA = 113.14+245.142

SA = 358.28ft^2

If one bundle of shingle covers 32 ft.²

Hence,358.28ft^2 = 358.28ft^2/32 ft.²

= 11.196

= 11.2 bundles
