l2 = h2 + r2
l2 = 52 + 32
l2 = 25 + 9
l = √(34)
l = 5.83 cm
Example 2: The total surface area of a cone is 375 square inches. If its slant height is four times
the radius, then what is the base diameter of the cone? Use π = 3.
Solution:
The total surface area of a cone = πrl + πr2 = 375 inch2
Slant height: l = 4 × radius = 4r
Substitute l = 4r and π = 3
3 × r × 4 r + 3 × r2 = 375
12r2 + 3r2 = 375
15r2 = 375
r2 = 25
r = 25
r=5
