9-8 Surface Area of Pyramids and Cones

The slant height of a pyramid or cone is measured along its lateral surface.

In a right cone, a line perpendicular to the base through the tip of the cone passes through the center of the base.

The base of a regular pyramid is a regular polygon, and the lateral faces are all congruent.

Additional Example 2: Exploring the Effects of Changing Dimensions

A cone has diameter 8 in. and slant height 3 in. Explain whether tripling the slant height would have the same effect on the surface area as tripling the radius.

They would not have the same effect. Tripling the radius would increase the surface area more than tripling the slant height.

A cone has diameter 9 in. and a slant height 2 in. Explain whether tripling the slant height would have the same effect on the surface area as tripling the radius.

They would not have the same effect. Tripling the radius would increase the surface area more than tripling the height.

Additional Example 3: Application

The upper portion of an hourglass is approximately an inverted cone with the given dimensions. What is the lateral surface area of the upper portion of the hourglass?

= (10)(26) 816.8 mm2

Pythagorean Theorem

Lateral surface areaL = rl

a2 + b2 = l2

102 + 242 = l2

l = 26 24 mm
