You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Your figure is a \"cone\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "inside the long part (\"height\" is \"5ft+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and the bottom \"diameter\" is \"8+ft\" ……..that means a \"radius=r\" of base, which is a circle, is \"r+=+4ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the area \"A\" of this cone will be:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+r%5E2%28Pi%29+%2B+rL%28Pi%29\"…where \"L\" is the \"slant_height\"
\n" ); document.write( " \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%284ft%29%5E2%28Pi%29+%2B+%284ft%29L%2A%28Pi%29\"…...now calculate \"L\" , to do it use Pythagorean Theorem\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%5E2+=+r%5E2+%2B+h%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%5E2+=+%284ft%29%5E2+%2B+%285ft%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%5E2+=+16ft%5E2+%2B+25ft%5E2+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L%5E2+=+41ft+%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L=+sqrt%2841ft%5E2%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L=+6.4ft\"…we can round it to nearest whole number\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L+=6ft+\"…….now, substitute it into \"A\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+%284ft%29%5E2%28Pi%29+%2B+%284ft%29%286ft%29%28Pi%29\"…\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+16ft%5E2%28Pi%29+%2B+24ft%5E2%28Pi%29\"…\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+40ft%5E2%28Pi%29+\"……so, your answer is \"a\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
