An open-topped conical birthday hat is to have volume 55 cm3.
Determine the minimum possible amount of material used in making this pot?
:
The vol of a cone
V =
= 55
Get rid of the fraction mult by 3
= 165
h =
:
Find the area of the cone material
A =
replace h with
A =
Graphically, radius on the horizontal, area on the vertical
Minimum material used when r = 1.4 cm, it then uses 11 sq/cm of material
"
"
you can check this, find the height (h) using r=1.4, then calculate volume
