Review how to calculate the surface area of a cone when the slant height is not given. The Pythagorean Theorem will be used to calculate the slant height using the radius and height of the cone as the right triangle's legs.
Hopefully someone would answer. Now How would you find the leg without the height given or find the height without the leg given? Please and thank you.
Omg, this helped me so much! But question, what if i was given a question like calculate the dimension indicated by the variable to the nearest tenth of a unit? And i was only given sa=7012 mm^2 and base was 48mm and no slant height or height of the cone? Do i still use the a^2 +b^2 = c^2 formula? -___- i would be in debt if you helped me.
my teacher did something like this but he did not square root the number when doing Pythagoras.. he put it in the equation when doing the surface area... is that another way of doing?
