What is the surface area of the cone? Use 3.14 for pi and round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

slant height: 11
radius: 6

To find the surface area of a cone, we need to find the lateral surface area (LSA) and the base area.

First, let's calculate the LSA. The LSA of a cone is given by the formula:

LSA = π * r * l

where r is the radius and l is the slant height.

Plugging in the values r = 6 and l = 11, we have:

LSA = 3.14 * 6 * 11 = 207.48

Next, let's find the base area of the cone. The base area of a cone is given by the formula:

Base area = π * r^2

Plugging in the value r = 6, we have:

Base area = 3.14 * 6^2 = 113.04

Finally, to find the total surface area of the cone, we need to add the LSA and the base area:

Total surface area = LSA + Base area
Total surface area = 207.48 + 113.04 = 320.52

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the surface area of the cone is approximately 320.5 square units.
