Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

Find the volume of a cone that has 5 as its base radius and a lateral surface area of 65 \pi

A right circular cone and a right circular cylinder each have a radius of 4 and a height of 3. Let A and B be the lateral surface areas of the cone and cylinder, respectively. Find A/B.

Hi;


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

Hi Bob, for number 1, I used the equation

and got 300pi initially but I saw where I went off, what did you get for number 2?

Re: Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

The lateral surface area of right circular cone is

correct?

I think I might have went off on my calculations sad

Re: Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

That is what I used. Got it from the web...

Let me see your calculations.

Re: Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

Ok, I redid my calculations and got the same answer as you. Here is my work:

Someday, in the not so distant future, I envision a world where everyone, everywhere, gets the same answers as I do.

Re: Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

A plane intersects a sphere, forming a circle that has area

. If this plane is 5 units from the center of the sphere, then what is the surface area of the sphere?

I got 232pi but that seems very, very wrong...

Re: Hard Cone/Cylinder Problems

hi denis_gylaev

I've been away so only just read this.  I get a smaller answer.  Try this:

Work out the radius of the circle. (leave with a square root as it simplifies anyway later)

From the centre of the sphere to the centre of the circle and then out to the edge of the circle makes a right angled triangle.  So use Pythagoras to get the radius of the sphere.
