Answer:
184.43in².
Explanation:
Total surface area of the solid = volume of the cube - the volume of the cone
For the CUBE;
Volume of the cube = L³ where L is the length of one side of the cube.
Since a cone of diameter of 6in is cut into a cube, then the length of the cube will be 6in.
Volume of the cube = 6³ = 216in³
For the CONE;
Volume of the cone = 1/3 πr²h
r is the radius of the cone = diameter/2
r = 6/2 = 3in
slant height l = 4.5in
the height h of the cone will be derived using the Pythagoras theorem.
l² = h²+r²
4.5² = h²+3²
h² = 4.5²-3²
h² = 11.25
h=√11.25
h = 3.35in
Volume of the cone = 1/3 × π × 3²× 3.35
= 31.57in³
Total surface area of the solid = 216in³-31.57in³
= 184.43in²
