If the lateral area of a cone is 587pi cm^2and the radius is 32cm what is the slant height? 5.8 9.2 13.7 18.3

The formula for this is an easy, straightforward one:  where r is the radius and  l is the slant height.  You have your area and your radius, so solve it for slant height.  and .  Multiply that pi in to the 32 and then divide that into 587 and you'll get 5.8

Lateral Area of a cone = PI * radius * slant height587 PI = PI * 32 * slant heightslant height = 587 / 32slant height = 18.34375 Even though the slant height can be calculated as 18.3 cm, how can you have a cone with a slant height that is greater than the radius?

Ithink its 126 hope its
