A water cup is shaped like a cone. It has a diameter of 3 inches and a slant height of 5 inches. About how many square inches of paper do you need to make a cup? Use 3.14 to approximate pi.

So basically, what this question is asking you for is the surface area of the entire cone.
To find it, we can use the formula:
SA = 3.14*r*l+3.14*r^2, where r is radius and l is lateral height
Now, all we have to do is plug all of the given values into the equation

Therefore, the equation we get is:
SA = 3.14*1.5*5 + 3.14*1.5^2
If we simplify, we find that the surface area is equal to 30.615
If we round this number to the nearest whole number, we get 31 square inches

Therefore the answer is 31

Hope this helped!! :D

Answer:

24 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Radius is half of diameter. Therefore 1.5in

Using formula

3.14x1.5x5=23.55

Round up to 24
