Weekly Math Problem #64

Cone Calculations. To lighten things up this week, I'm falling back on some Geometry. 😁 Sometimes, you just need to be reminded of how to do certain types of computation. I've definitely worked with a cone on many occasions (mathematically, not in real life), but can't really recall ever being asked to find the surface are of one. That's one of the things we'll be doing this week.

To solve this week's problem in completion, you need to recall the following math skills:

        ✔️     How to use a formula (substitution)
        ✔️     How to use your calculator
        ✔️     Rounding numbers

     

WMP! #64 wants us to...

Happy solving!

Check back on Saturday, November 20th for the solution, which will be posted below ⬇️.
