Find the surface area of a conical grain storage tank that has a height of 46 meters and a diameter of 16 meters. Round the answer to the nearest square meter.

Question

A. 1375 m^2

B. 3151 m^2

C. 2548 m^2

How would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Check your formula for the area of a cone.

A = πr^2 + πrs

where s is the slant height: √(r^2+h^2)

So now, just plug in your numbers.
