  • @jediteacher2007 what if the slant height isnt given?

  • 20^2+7^2 = 449.... so how did you get from here to 30cm?? (it's 449 not 900)

  • @JessicaChristic Thanks for the help...... I cracked it

  • @slaminjamin32 Hey!!!! alright... The curved surface area is (Pi X Radius x Slant Height). So if you have the radius and slant height, this is how you do it:

    (Pi x Radius x Slant Height)= Surface area

    (Radius x Slant Height)= S.A x Pi

    Slant Height= S.A x Pi x Radius

    On the other hand, if you want to find the height, then you should use the Pythagoras Theorem (a2=b2+c2). a2 being the square of Hypotenuse, b2 and c2 being the squares of the other sides.

    There you go :)

  • say how would you find the slant height with only the radius and surface area?

  • U should become a teacher

  • my teacher sucks

  • Thank you so much this helped more than my teacher lol!
