You can put this solution on YOUR website!
find the length of the slant height of a cone with a radius of 5 cm and a surface area of 235.5 cm2
:
Surface area formula: S.A. = %28pi%2Ar%2As%29+%2B+%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29, where r=radius, s=slant height
%28pi%2A5%2As%29+%2B+%28pi%2A5%5E2%29 = 235.5
15.7s + 78.54 = 235.5
15.7s = 235.5 - 78.54
15.7s = 157
s = 157%2F15.7
s = 10.0 cm is the slant height
