A party hat shaped like a cone requires about 66 square inches ( Surface Area ) of paper to make. If the slant height is 7 inches, how wide is the hat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving

  • Curved Area = π x r x slant height
  • 66 = 3.14 x 7 x r
  • r = 66/21.98 ≅ 3 inches

Width of the hat

  • Diameter of the cone
  • 2 x Radius
  • 2 x 3 = 6 inches

Answer:

6.00 in (nearest hundredth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area = surface area excluding the bases(s)

Lateral surface area of a cone = [tex]\pi rs[/tex]

(where r is the radius and s is the slant height)

Given:

  • lateral surface area ≈ 66 in²
  • slant height (s) = 7 in

[tex]\implies 66= \pi r \cdot 7=7 \pi r[/tex]

[tex]\implies r=\dfrac{66}{7 \pi}[/tex]

The width of the hat is the diameter.  As diameter = 2r:

[tex]\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{width} & =2 \cdot \dfrac{66}{7 \pi}\\\\ & =\dfrac{132}{7 \pi}\\\\ & = 6.00\: \sf in\:(nearest\:hundredth)\end{aligned}[/tex]
