Y = -(1/2)(x-2)² +8
Re write it in standard form:
(y-8) = -1/2(x-2)²  ↔ (y-k) = a(x-h)²

This parabola open downward (a = -1/2 <0), with a maximum shown in vertex
The vertex is (h , k) → Vertex(2 , 8)
focus(h, k +c )
 a = 1/4c → -1/2 = 1/4c → c = -1/2, hence focus(2, 8-1/2) →focus(2,15/2)

Latus rectum: y-value = 15/2

Replace in the equation y with 15/2→→15/2 = -1/2(x-2)² + 8
Or -1/2(x-2)² +8 -15/2 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation gives x' = 3 and x" = 2, then 
Latus rectum = 5

Answer:

cylinder surface area = 201.06in²

surface area of cone = 56.56in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

cylinder surface area formula = 2πrh + 2πr²

refer the pic

cone surface area formula = πr ( r + √h² + r² )

refer the sec pic

surface area of the solid

= ( 201.06 + 56.56 ) in.²

= 257.62in.²

= 258in.²
