To explain:
According to the given statement a cone and a square pyramid have the same slant height.
Answer to Problem 38HP
They are not equal.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A cone and a square pyramid have the same surface area. If the areas of their bases are also equal.
The surface area of the cone is given by:
The surface area of square pyramid is given by:
The area of the base of the cone and the pyramid are the same.
The cone and the square pyramid have the same surface areas.
From the above calculation it is clear that the slant height of cone is greater than the slant height of pyramid.
Hence, they are not equal.
