Answer :

Lateral Surface Area and Volume of a Cone

Given a cone of radius r and height h, the lateral surface area can be calculated as follows:

[tex]A_l=\pi r\sqrt[]{r^2+h^2}[/tex]

And the volume is:

[tex]V=\frac{\pi r^2h}{3}[/tex]

The image shows a cone and we are given the diameter of the base and the height.

We need first to calculate the radius of the base:

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{11.4\operatorname{cm}}{2} \\ r=5.7\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now calculate the lateral surface area:

[tex]A_l=\pi\cdot5.7cm\cdot\sqrt[]{(5.7cm)^2+(16.2\operatorname{cm})^2}[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]A_l=17.907cm\cdot\sqrt[]{32.49cm^2+262.44\operatorname{cm}^2}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} A_l=17.907cm\cdot\sqrt[]{294.93\operatorname{cm}} \\ A_l=17.907cm\cdot17.17\operatorname{cm} \\ A_l=308\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the area is 308 square cm

Now for the volume:

[tex]V=\frac{\pi(5.7cm)^2(16.2\operatorname{cm})}{3}[/tex]

Calculating:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1653.5396}{3} \\ V=551\operatorname{cm}^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the volume is 551 cubic cm
