The cone below has a radius of 3 inches, a height of 4 inches, and a slant height of 5 inches.
what is the approximate lateral area of the cone? use 3.14 for π and round to the nearest whole number.
38 in.2
47 in.2
75 in.2
94 in.2

We are asked to solve for the lateral area or the cone given that the radius is equivalent to 3 inches and slant height is 5 inches where pi is 3.14. To solve this problem, we need to use the formula below:
Lateral area of a cone = pi*r*l where "r" represents the radius and "l" represents the slant height
Solving for the lateral area we have it:
Lateral area = pi*r*l , substitute values
Lateral area = 3.14 * 3* 5 , perform multiplication
Lateral area = 47.1 square unit

The answer is the second item in the choices which is 47 inches².

The answer is 16.64 feetyour welcome
