CONE

** In order to find the surface area, you must first use Pythagorean Theorem for the slant height of the cone. 4 squared + 5 squared = slant height squared.  16+25=41 then take the square root of 41, which is 6.4.

SA: B + 1/2CH

SA: (3.14)(r)(r)+1/2(3.14)(d)(slant height)

SA: (3.14)(4)(4)+1/2(3.12)(8)(6.4)

SA: 50.24 + 80.4

SA: 130.6 cm squared

V: 1/3(3.14)(r)(r)(vertical height)

V: 1/3(3.14)(4)(4)(5)

V: 87.7 cm cubed
