2. Find the surface area of the regular pyramid shown. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
3. What is the slant height of a square pyramid with base lengths of 15 inches and height of 10 inches?
• circular cone
• right cone
• oblique cone
• Find lateral areas of cones.
• Find surface areas of cones.
Explore We are given the altitude and the diameter of the
base. We need to find the slant height of the cone.
Lateral Area of a Cone
Plan The radius of the base, height, and slant height form a right triangle. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the slant height. Then use the formula for the lateral area of a right circular cone.
Lateral Area of a Cone
Next, use the formula for the lateral area of a right circular cone.
Lateral Area of a Cone
Solve Write an equation and solve for .
Simplify.
Pythagorean Theorem
Take the square root of each side.
Lateral area of a cone
Use a calculator.
Answer: The lateral area is approximately 31.8 square inches.
Lateral Area of a Cone
Check Use estimation to check the reasonableness of this result. The lateral area is approximately 3 ● 1.25 ● 8 or 30 square inches. Compared to the estimate, the answer is reasonable.
