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.
