Question

Which expression represents the area of the base of the cone? A cone with diameter 12 inches, height 8 inches, and slant height 10 inches. B = pi r squared (pi) (5 squared) (pi) (6 squared) (pi) (10 squared) (pi) (12 squared)

Answer 1

Answer: (pi) (6 squared)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, the base area of a cone is a circle, so, to answer this question we have to apply the next formula:

Area of a circle: (pi) radius^2

The diameter (d) of a circle is equal to: 2 radius

So:

D = 2r

Replacing with the value given:

12 =2r

12/2=r

radius= 6 inches

Back with the Area formula:

A = (pi) 6^2
