Question

A conical tent made of canvas has a base that is 20 feet across and a slant height of 14 feet. To the nearest whole unit, what is the area of the canvas, including the floor? Use 3.14 for pi.

Answer 1

Hey there!

Answer:

753.6 sq/ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the cone: 20/2 = 10 ft

Use the equation

A = pi* r* s

where s = slant height

A = 3.14 * 10* 14

A = 439.6 sq/ft

Find the area of the floor

A = 3.14*10^2

A = 314 sq/ft

Find the total area of the canvas:

439.6 + 314 = 753.6 sq/ft
