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 of the cone.
L=π rl
We are given that the radius r of the cone is 4inches and the slant height l is 11inches By substituting r with 4 and l with 11 into the formula, we can calculate L.
The lateral area of the cone is about 138.2 square inches.
Surface Area
To calculate the surface area of a pyramid, we need to calculate the sum of the lateral area L and the area of the base B.
S=L+B
Recall that the base of the cone is a circle. We can find its area using the formula B = π r^2.
