The formula for the slant height of a cone is t equals StartFraction S minus pi r squared Over pi EndFraction. , where S is surface area of the cone. Use the formula to find the slant height, l, of a cone with a surface area of 500π ft2 and a radius of 15 ft.
l = ft

Respuesta :

The correct answer is 275

The slant height of the cone given slant height of 500π ft² and radius 15feet is 275 square feet.

Given the formula for calculating the slant height of a cone is expressed as:

[tex]l=\frac{S-\pi r^2}{\pi}[/tex]where:

S is the surface area of the cone

r is the radius

Given the following

S = 500π ft²

r = 15ft

π = 3.14

Substitute the given values into the given expression as shown:

[tex]l=\frac{500\pi-\pi (15)^2}{\pi}\\l=\frac{500 \pi - 225 \pi}{\pi} \\l=\frac{275 \pi}{\pi}\\l = 275 ft^2[/tex]

This shows that the slant height of the cone is 275 square feet.
