Find the Curved Surface Area $ CSA $ of a cone if radius $r = 7$ and height $h = 24$.
Answer
$CSA = 175\pi$
Explanation
STEP 1: find side $ l $
To find side $ l $ use Pythagorean Theorem:
$$ r^2 + h^2 = l^2 $$After substituting $ r = 7 $ and $ h = 24 $ we have:
$$ 7^2 + 24^2 = l^2 $$ $$ 49 + 576 = l^2 $$ $$ l^2 = 625 $$ $$ l = \sqrt{ 625 } $$$$ l = 25 $$STEP 2: find Curved Surface Area $ CSA $
To find Curved Surface Area $ CSA $ use formula:
$$ CSA = r \cdot l \cdot \pi$$After substituting $ r = 7 $ and $ l = 25 $ we have:
$$ CSA = 7 \cdot 25 \cdot \pi$$$$ CSA = 7 \cdot 25 \cdot \pi $$$$ CSA = 175\pi $$This page was created using
