Hi good people!,
I have something strange here...well, for me that is..
A cone with base radius = 6cm, perpendicular height (PH) = 8cm. we are asked to calculate the volume of the cone. Using 13πr2∗PH it calculates to 301,59 cm3. The book gets 50,27 cm3. When I look at the calc in the book, I notice they did not use 62 for the radius but only 6. Surely that is an error on their part?
but what baffles me is that when I calculate the total outer area, using the slanted height (SH), which calculates to 10 cm (Having used Pythagoras), in this formula:
πr2+πrSH, it also calculates to 301,59 cm2.
would it be possible to please show me my error?...Thank you very much!
Hi Alan,
so it is possible that both volume and surface area can be the same figure?...except of course for the square and cubic results?
