Answer:

12 cm

Explanation:

The total surface area of the cone = area of base + area of curved surface

Subtract the base area from total area, that is

πrs = area - πr²

r is the radius and s the slant height

πrs = 417.8 - (π × 7²) = 263.86

Divide both sides by πr

s =
(263.86)/(7\pi ) ≈ 12 cm
