Question

Given a right cone with radius r and slant height s, what does the formula pi rs represent

Answer 1

The formula of pi rs represents the formula to find the lateral surface area of a right cone.

Answer 2

The formula πrs represent the lateral surface area of the cone.

Explanation:

Lateral surface area--

The lateral surface area of a solid ( i.e. a three dimensional object) is the area of all the sides of the solid excluding the area of the base as well as top of the solid.

If r is the radius of the cone and s is the slant height of the cone then the lateral surface area of the cone is given by the formula:

`Lateral\ surface\ area=\pi rs`
