Answer: OPTION A

Explanation:

The formula that is used to calculate the surface area of a cone is:


SA=\pi rl+\pi r^2

Where "r" is the radius and "l" is the slant height.

You can identify in the figure that:


l=12units\\r=3units

Then, you need to substitute these values into the formula
SA=\pi rl+\pi r^2.

Therefore, the surface area of this right cone is:


SA=\pi (3units)(12units)+\pi (3units)^2


SA=45\pi\ units^2
