calculate the cone 4

problem 4:


A cone has a surface area of 1 840 m² and a radius of 16 m. 

a) calculate the length of the slent

b) calculate the height

c) calculate the volume

answer: 


a) answer length of slent:

A =  r² * π + r * π * s

1 840 = 16² * π + 16 * π * s        / – 16² * π

1 035,75…. = 16 * π * s     / : 16

64.73…    = π * s      / : π

s = 20.61 m

A: The length of the slent is 20.61 m.

 

b) answer height:

h = √s² – r²

h = √(20.61² – 16²)

h = 12.99 m

A: The height is 12.99 m.

 

c) answer volume:

V = r² * π  * h : 3

V = 16² * π * 12.99 : 3   

V = 3 482.39 m³   

A: The volume is 3 482.39 m³.
