What is the surface area in square centimeters of a cone with a Demeter of 12 ft and a slant height of 14 ft used 3.14 for pi and rum to the nearest tenth of necessary

1 answer

First, we need to calculate the radius of the cone using the diameter given. The diameter is 12 ft, so the radius would be half of that, 6 ft.

Next, we can calculate the lateral surface area of the cone using the slant height and the radius. The formula for the lateral surface area of a cone is given by:

Lateral surface area = π * radius * slant height

Substituting the values we have:

Lateral surface area = 3.14 * 6 ft * 14 ft = 263.52 ft^2

Therefore, the lateral surface area of the cone is approximately 263.5 square feet.
