What is the surface area of the cone in terms of π? A cone. The diameter of the base is 8 meters and the slant height of the cone is 15 meters.

The surface area of the cone is;

68 π m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the surface area of the cone

Mathematically, we have this as ;

S.A = π(r^2 + rl)

where r is the radius and l is the slant height

We are given the diameter, but the radius is half of this

d = 8

r = d/2 = 8/2 = 4 m

l = 13 m

S.A = π(4^2 + 4(13))

= π(16 + 52) = 68 π m^2
