Given:
Height = 5 inches
Radius = 3 inches
Determine the lateral area of the cone.
Formula for the lateral area of the cone:
L. S. A=πrh
Solution:
Substitute the given values to the formula for the lateral surface area of the cone.
L. S. A=πrh
L. S. A=π(5 inches)(3 inches)
L. S. A=15 π in^2
L. S. A = 47.12 in^2
Final answer:
L. S. A=47.12 in^2
