Question

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 34 feet across and a slant height of 12 feet to the nearest whole unit what is the area of the canvas

A.) 1548

B.) 2189

C.) 1228

D.) 4911

Answer 1

check the picture below.


`\bf \textit{total surface area of a cone}\\\\ SA=\pi r√(r^2+h^2)+\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\ h=height\\ -------\\ r=17\\ √(r^2+h^2)=12 \end{cases} \\\\\\ SA=\pi (17)(12)+\pi (17)^2\implies SA=204\pi +289\pi \implies SA=493\pi`
