To find the surface area of the spyglass in the shape of a cone, we need to calculate both the lateral surface area and the base area of the cone.

  1. Lateral Surface Area (LSA): The formula for the lateral surface area of a cone is:

    \[ LSA = \pi r l \] where \( r \) is the radius and \( l \) is the slant height. Given \( r = 6 \) cm and \( l = 18 \) cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:

    \[ LSA = 3.14 \times 6 \times 18 \]

    \[ LSA = 3.14 \times 108 = 339.12 \text{ square centimeters} \]

  2. Base Area (BA): The formula for the area of the base of a cone (which is a circle) is:

    \[ BA = \pi r^2 \]

    Substituting \( r = 6 \) cm:

    \[ BA = 3.14 \times 6^2 = 3.14 \times 36 = 113.04 \text{ square centimeters} \]

  3. Total Surface Area (TSA): The total surface area of the cone is the sum of the lateral surface area and the base area:

    \[ TSA = LSA + BA \] \[ TSA = 339.12 + 113.04 = 452.16 \text{ square centimeters} \]

Thus, the surface area of the spyglass is 452.16 square centimeters.
