Answer:
Lateral surface area = 287.11 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
An Elizabethan collar is a conical frustum. In this problem, you'll want to find the lateral surface area, which does not include either base, because the collar does not have bases. To calculate this, the formula is
[tex]la = \pi(r1 + r2)s[/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{ {(r1 - r2)}^{2} + {h}^{2} } [/tex]
where r1 equals the radius of the larger base, r2 the radius of the smaller base, h the height of the conical frustum, and s is the side length.
s= approximately 8.308...
r1 = 8
r2 = 3
8 + 3 is 11
11 × pi × 8.308... = 287.1108... in^2
Sorry for any confusion or mistakes! By the time I realized this was a bit above my math level I'd already typed out all those formulas, so I was invested.
