The lateral area of a cone is given by the formula:
Lateral Area = πrl,
where r is the radius of the cone and l is the slant height.
Given that the lateral area is 14π in^2 and the radius is 2.8 in, we can substitute these values into the formula:
14π = π(2.8)l.
Solving for l:
14 = 2.8l
l = 14 / 2.8
l = 5
Therefore, the slant height of the cone is 5 inches.
The lateral area of a cone is 14 pi in squared. The radius is 2.8 in. Find the slant height.
