What is the surface area of a conical grain storage tank that has a height of 54 meters and a diameter of 18 meters round the answer to the nearest square meter

1803 square meter

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a cone

A=πr(r+V(h2+r2))

where A is the surface area, r is the radius and h is the height

Given that the height of 54 meters and a diameter of 18 meters, the radius is half the diameter hence

radius = 18/2 = 9 m

A = 9π (9 + V(54^2 + 9^2))

= 9π (9 + V2997)

= 9π (9 + 54.74486)

= 1803.068976 Square meters

To the nearest square meter

A = 1803
