Lateral Area of a Cone
ICE CREAM A sugar cone has an altitude of
8 inches and a diameter of
inches. Find the
lateral area of the sugar cone.
If the cone has a diameter of
radius
then the
Use the altitude and
the radius to find the slant height with the Pythagorean
Theorem.
Lateral Area of a Cone
Step 1
Find the slant height ℓ.
ℓ2 = 82 + 1.252
Pythagorean Theorem
ℓ2 ≈ 65.56
Simplify.
ℓ ≈ 8.1
Step 2
Take the square root of
each side.
Find the lateral area L.
L = rℓ
Lateral area of a cone
≈ (1.25)(8.1) r = 1.25 and ℓ ≈ 8.1
≈ 31.8
Answer: The lateral area of the sugar cone is about
31.8 square inches.
HATS A conical birthday hat has an altitude of
6 inches and a diameter of 4 inches. Find the lateral
area of the birthday hat.
A. 39.7 in.2
B. 43.6 in.2
C. 48.2 in.2
D. 53.1 in.2
Surface Area of a Cone
Find the surface area of
the cone. Round to the
nearest tenth.
Estimate: S ≈ 3 ● 1.5 ● 3 + 3 ● 2 or 19.5 cm2
S = rℓ + r2
Surface area of a cone
= (1.4)(3.2) + (1.4)2 r = 1.4 and ℓ = 3.2
≈ 20.2
Answer: The surface area of the cone is about
20.2 square centimeters. This is close to the
estimate, so the answer is reasonable.
Find the surface area of the cone. Round to the
nearest tenth.
