Find the slant height $ l $ of a cone if radius $r = 16$ and area $A = 2612.48$.

$l = 35.9736$

STEP 1: find base area $ AB $

To find base area $ AB $ use formula:

$$ AB = r^2 \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $ r = 16 $ we have:

$$ AB = 16^2 \cdot \pi $$ $$ AB = 256 \cdot \pi $$

STEP 2: find Curved Surface Area $ CSA $

To find Curved Surface Area $ CSA $ use formula:

$$ A = AB + CSA $$

After substituting $ A = 2612.48 $ and $ AB = 256\pi $ we have:

$$ 2612.48 = 256\pi + CSA $$ $$ CSA = 2612.48 - 256\pi $$ $$ CSA = 1808.2323 $$

STEP 3: find slant height $ l $

To find slant height $ l $ use formula:

$$ CSA = r \cdot l \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $ CSA = 1808.2323 $ and $ r = 16 $ we have:

$$ 1808.2323 = 16 \cdot l \cdot \pi $$$$ l = \dfrac{ 1808.2323 }{ 16 \, \pi} $$$$ l = 35.9736 $$
