Use the formulas for the lateral area and the surface area of a cone.
Lateral Area: 354.4 cm^2
Surface Area: 432.9 cm^2
Consider the given solid.
The given solid is a cone. It has a height of 22 centimeters and a diameter of 10 centimeters. The length of the slant height is unknown. Let's first calculate the lateral area and then the surface area.
To calculate the lateral area of a cone, we can use the known formula where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height.
L=Ï€ rl
Also, we can see a right triangle formed by the height of the cone, the radius of the base, and the slant height.
Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the slant height l.
a= 5, b= 22

Rearrange equation
sqrt(LHS)=sqrt(RHS)
By taking the positive square root of each side, we have that c=sqrt(509). Therefore, the slant height of the cone is sqrt(509).
Now, we have l= sqrt(509) and r= 5. Let's substitute these values into the formula for the lateral area and calculate L
r= 5, l= sqrt(509)

The lateral area of the cone is about 354.4 square centimeters.
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=π rl+π r^2 Earlier, we found that r= 5 and π rl ≈ 354.4. Let's substitute these values into the formula to calculate S.
The surface area of the cone is about 432.9 square centimeters.
