Question

find the surface area of this cone. use 3.14 for π. 5 cm 4 cm surface area of a cone la = πrl sa = la + b sa = ? cm² round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

Answer:

First, find the lateral area (LA) using \( LA=\pi rl \), where \( r = 4 \) cm and \( l = 5 \) cm. So \( LA = 3.14\times4\times5=62.8 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). Then, find the base area (B), which is the area of a circle: \( B=\pi r^2=3.14\times4^2 = 3.14\times16 = 50.24 \) \( \text{cm}^2 \). Now, the surface area (SA) is \( LA + B = 62.8+50.24 = 113.04 \), rounded to the nearest tenth is \( 113.0 \). Wait, no, 113.04 rounded to the nearest tenth is 113.0? Wait, 113.04: the tenths place is 0, hundredths is 4, so we keep the tenths place as is? Wait, no, 113.04 to the nearest tenth: 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04 is 113.0 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 113.04: the first decimal is 0, second is 4. So we look at the hundredths place (4), which is less than 5, so we round down. So 113.0? Wait, but let's recalculate:

Wait, \( r = 4 \), \( l = 5 \).

Lateral Area: \( \pi r l = 3.14 \times 4 \times 5 = 62.8 \)

Base Area: \( \pi r^2 = 3.14 \times 16 = 50.24 \)

Surface Area: \( 62.8 + 50.24 = 113.04 \)

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04: the tenths digit is 0, hundredths is 4. So we round to the nearest tenth, so 113.0? Wait, but 113.04 is 113.0 when rounded to the nearest tenth? Wait, no, 113.04: the number is 113.04, so to the nearest tenth, it's 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04: the tenths place is 0, the hundredths is 4, so we don't round up the tenths place. So 113.0. But wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 113.04 rounded to the nearest tenth is 113.0? Wait, no, 113.04: the first decimal is 0, second is 4. So yes, 113.0. But let me check again.

Wait, maybe the slant height is 5, radius is 4. So LA is \( 3.14*4*5 = 62.8 \), base area is \( 3.14*16 = 50.24 \), sum is 113.04, which is 113.0 when rounded to the nearest tenth. So the answer is 113.0.

Wait, but maybe I miscalculated. Wait, 3.14*16 is 50.24, 62.8 + 50.24 is 113.04. Rounded to the nearest tenth: 113.0. So the surface area is 113.0 \( \text{cm}^2 \).

So the final answer is 113.0.
