The height of the cone is 30, and the length of the generatrix is 34. Find the bases of the cone.

Triangle AOB is rectangular, in which leg AO is the radius of a circle at the base of the cone.

By the Pythagorean theorem, AO ^ 2 = AB ^ 2 – OB ^ 2 = 34 ^ 2 – 30 ^ 2 = 1156 – 900 = 256.

ОА = R = 16 cm.

Then D = 2 * R = 2 * 16 = 32 cm.

Determine the area of the base of the cone.

Sb = π * R ^ 2 = π * 256 cm2.

Answer: The area of the base of the cone is π * 256 cm2, the diameter is 32 cm.
