  1. the circumference is 50.

    in order to get the circumference, the formula is  pi x diameter.

    divide 50 by pi [3.14] to get the diameter.

    then the formula for getting the surface area of a cone is pi x radius x (radius+slant height. [which is 60])

    *btw, radius is a half of a diameter.


  2. Here is the summary of the information we have on the cone:

    h = 60 cm

    c = 50 cm

    To find teh Surface area of a Cone, you must use these formula,

    SA = (pi)(r)(s) + (pi)(r squared)

    Where:

    SA is Surface Area

    pi is 3.14

    r is radius

    s is the slant height of the cone,

    Since we still have to get the Slant Height of teh cone, use this formula;

    S = square root of R squared + H squared

    So, To get the Surface area, you must get the Slant Heigth first.

    S = square root of R squared + H squared

    S = square root of 25cm squared + 60cm squared

    S = 65 cm

    So, to get the Surface Area

    SA = (pi)(r)(s) + (pi)(r squared)

    SA = (3.14)(25cm)(65cm) + (3.14)(25cm squared)

    SA = 5102.5cm + 1962.5

    SA = 7065 cm

  3. SA=LA+pi x radius squared.

    LA=pi x raius x slanted height.
