Question

question 7 of 10
you cannot use the surface area formula for a right cone to find the surface area of an oblique cone.
a. true
b. false

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The surface area formula for a right cone ($S=\pi r(r + l)$ where $r$ is the radius and $l$ is the slant height) is derived based on the properties of a right - cone (the axis is perpendicular to the base). An oblique cone has a different geometric structure (the axis is not perpendicular to the base), so the formula for the surface area of a right cone cannot be directly applied to find the surface area of an oblique cone.

Answer:

A. True
