For a cone, if the radius was quadrupled and the slant height was reduced to 1/6 of its original size what would be the formula to find the modified surface area.

Respuesta :

Let [tex]r[/tex] be the radius of the cone's base and [tex]\ell[/tex] the slant height.

The surface area of a cone is

[tex]A=\pi r^2+\pi r\ell[/tex]

If the radius is quadrupled ([tex]r\to4r[/tex]) and the slant height scaled by a factor of [tex]\dfrac16[/tex], then the new area is

[tex]A=\pi(4r)^2+\pi (4r)\left(\dfrac\ell6\right)[/tex]
[tex]A=16\pi r^2+\dfrac23\pi r\ell[/tex]
