The formula for calculating the curved surface area of a cone is:
Curved Surface Area = πrℓ
Where:
- π (pi) is a constant value approximately equal to 3.14159
- r is the radius of the base of the cone
- ℓ (l) is the slant height of the cone, which is the distance from the tip of the cone to the edge of the base along the curved surface. It can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: ℓ = √(r² + h²), where h is the height of the cone.
