NASA is painting the nose cone of a sounding rocket with a special sealant which reduces the air-drag on the rocket. If they need to do two coats of the sealant, how many square feet are they painting? Use π = 3.14.

The formula for the lateral surface area (LSA) of a right cone is:

LSA = π x r x l

where: r as radius, and l as the slant height of the cone

If NASA need to do two coats of the sealant, the number of square feet that they are painting is: 2 x LSA = 2 x π x r x l

Step-by-step explanation:

56.5 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

After you calulate the the surface area and double it, subtract the area of the circle.

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

nothing extraneous has been found!

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
