Use the formula for the surface area.

282.6m^2

Practice makes perfect

We want to calculate the surface area of a cone.

To calculate the surface area of a cone, we can use the known formula where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height of the cone. S.A.=π r^2 + π rl We know that the slant height of the cone equals 13 meters and the radius equals 5 meters. By substituting r with 5 and l with 13 into the formula, we can calculate S.A.
S.A.= π r^2 + π rl
S.A. = π( 5)^2 + π ( 5)( 13)
â–Ľ
Simplify right-hand side
S.A. = π (25) + π (5)(13)
S.A. = 25Ď€ + 65Ď€
S.A. = 90Ď€
Let's now substitute 3.14 for π and round the result to the nearest tenth.
S.A. = 90Ď€
S.A. = 90( 3.14)
S.A. = 282.6
The surface area of the cone is 282.6 square meters.
