Question

A right cone has an altitude of 4 units and a base diameter of 6 units. What is it’s lateral area?

Answer 1

Answer:

Lateral area  =

pi *  (radius) * √ [ height ^2  + radius^2 ]  =

pi *  ( 4 )  * √ [  4^2 + 3^2 ]  =

pi * ( 4 ) * √25  =

pi * ( 4 ) * (5 )  =

20 pi  units^2  ≈   62.8 units^2
