To find the surface area of the side of the funnel, we need to find the slant height first.
The slant height (l) can be found using the formula: l² = r² + h², where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cone.
Given that the diameter of the larger base is 6 inches, the radius (r) would be half of that, which is 6/2 = 3 inches.
The smaller base has a diameter of 4 inches, so the radius for that base is 4/2 = 2 inches.
Now we need to find the slant height (l) using the formula mentioned earlier. For the larger base:
l² = 3² + h²
l² = 9 + h²
For the smaller base:
l² = 2² + h²
l² = 4 + h²
As both formulas equal l², we can set them equal to each other:
9 + h² = 4 + h²
The h² term cancels out, leaving:
9 = 4
This is not possible, so there is an error in the given dimensions. Please double-check and provide the correct measurements in order to solve the problem accurately.
