Eli is making a model castle out of clay. One of the roof peaks is in the shape of a cone with a diameter of 14 inches and a slant height of 20 inches. What is the surface area of the cone peak? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

The surface area of the cone peak is 571.43 square inches.
Wrong again!
SA = π rs, where s is the slant height, r is the radius
= π(7)(20) = appr 439.82 in^2
SA = π rs, where s is the slant height, r is the radius
= π(7)(20) = appr 439.82 in^2
so what's the correct answer?
