Question

Find the total surface area of this cone.

Answer 1

Answer:

SA = 360π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height l is the hypotenuse of the right triangle inside the cone.

Using Pythagoras' identity to find l

l² = 24² + 10² = 576 + 100 = 676 ( take the square root of both sides )

l = $\sqrt{676}$ = 26

Then

SA = πrl + πr²

      = (π × 10 × 26) + (π × 10²)

      = 260π + 100π

      = 360π in²
