Cone has diameter of 14 inches and slant height of 20 inches. Find the surface area to nearesth hundredth. With units

1 answer

To find the surface area of the cone, we need to find the lateral area and the base area, and then add them together.

The lateral area of a cone is given by the formula: L = πrs, where r is the radius of the base and s is the slant height. The radius is half the diameter, so r = 14/2 = 7 inches.

The lateral area is therefore L = π(7)(20) = 140π.

The base area of a cone is given by the formula: B = πr^2, where r is the radius of the base. The radius is again 7 inches.

The base area is therefore B = π(7^2) = 49π.

The surface area of the cone is the sum of the lateral and base areas: A = L + B = 140π + 49π ≈ 461.81 square inches.

Therefore, the surface area is approximately 461.81 square inches.
