Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their
properties to describe objects (e.g. modeling a tree trunk
or a human torso as a cylinder).

Surface Area
Because the radius of the base is 15 inches
and the height of the cone is 8 inches, you
can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the
slant height.

Example 3
Find Measurements of Three-Dimensional
Figures
The slant height is 17 inches, and the radius is
15 inches. Use the formula for the surface
area of a cone.
Surface area of cone
in. and in.
Use a calculator.
The surface area of the cone is about 1508.0 square inches.
