The missing slant height, l, can be found by using the formula for the surface area of a cone:

SA = (π * r * l) + (π * r^2)

Given that the surface area is 364π square inches and the radius is 13 inches, we can plug these values into the formula:

364π = (π * 13 * l) + (π * 13^2)

Simplifying the equation:

364π = 13π * l + 169π

364π - 169π = 13π * l

195π = 13π * l

Dividing both sides by 13π:

15 = l

Therefore, the missing slant height is 15 inches.
