Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
The lateral area of a cone is ...
LA = (π/2)ds
where d is the diameter, and s is the slant height.
The area of this tower roof is about ...
LA = (π/2)(12 ft)(13 ft) = 78π ft² ≈ 245 ft²
About 245/32 = 7.7 bundles of shingles will be required for coverage.
You should buy 8 bundles of shingles to cover the roof.
