Anita needs to construct ten cones for a class project. How many square feet of material will she need if the diameter is 6ft and the height is 12ft? Use 3.14 for pi
Assuming that Anita needs hollow right circular cones, we are solving for its lateral surface area, which is given by the formula πr√(h²+r²), where r is the radius and h is the height. r = 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft
Solving for the lateral surface area of one cone: LSA = (3.14) (3) [√(12²+3²)] = 116.52 sq ft.
Since she needs 10 cones: 10 * 116.52 sq. ft = 1,165.2 sq ft.
