Quiz on Surface Area and Volume of Cones and Pyramids

What is the slant height in the context of cones and pyramids?

• The radius of the base

• The diameter of the base

• The distance along the edge from the base to the apex

• The vertical height from the base to the apex

Which formula represents the surface area of a cone?

• πr² + πrl

• 2πr² + 2πrh

• πr²h

• 1/3πr²h

How do you find the height of a cone if the slant height and radius are known?

• Use the formula h = √(l² - r²)

• Use the formula h = l² + r²

• Use the formula h = l + r

• Use the formula h = l - r
