2082.9 in.^2

Practice makes perfect

The given solid is 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=Ï€ rl+Ï€ r^2 Looking at the diagram, we know that the radius of the cone's base is 17 inches and that the the slant height of the cone equals 22 inches. By substituting r with 17 and l with 22 into the formula, we can calculate S.

S=Ï€ rl+Ï€ r^2
S=Ï€( 17)( 22)+Ï€( 17)^2
â–¼
Evaluate right-hand side
S=Ï€(17)( 22)+Ï€(289)
S=374Ï€+289Ï€
S=663Ï€
S=2082.875929...
S≈ 2082.9

The surface area of the cone is approximately 2082.9 square inches.
