To find the surface area of a cone, we need to determine the lateral area and the base area.
The lateral area of a cone is given by the formula:
Lateral area = π * r * s,
where r is the radius of the cone and s is the slant height.
First, we need to find the radius, which is half the diameter. So, the radius is 14 inches / 2 = 7 inches.
Now, we can calculate the lateral area using the formula:
Lateral area = π * 7 inches * 20 inches
Lateral area ≈ 439.82 square inches (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Next, we need to find the base area of the cone. The base is a circle with radius 7 inches.
Base area = π * (7 inches)^2
Base area ≈ 153.94 square inches (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Finally, we can compute the surface area of the cone by adding the lateral and base areas:
Surface area = Lateral area + Base area
Surface area ≈ 439.82 square inches + 153.94 square inches
Surface area ≈ 593.76 square inches (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
Therefore, the surface area of the cone is approximately 593.76 square inches.
Cone has diameter of 14 inches and slant height of 20 inches. Find the surface area to nearesth hundredth. Need units.
