Answer:


SA=108.8 units^2

Explanation:

The surface area of a right cone is given by


S.A=\pi r^2+\pi rl

The relation between the slant height l, the radius r, and the height h, is


l^2=r^2+h^2


l^2=3^2+8^2


l^2=9+64


l^2=73


l=√(73)


S.A=\pi * 3^2+\pi *3*√(73)


S.A=\pi * 3^2+\pi *3*√(73)


SA=108.8 units^2

Answer:
A = 108.80\ units^2

Explanation:

The surface area of right cone is calculated by the following formula


A = \pi r *√(r^2 +h^2)+\pi r^2

Where r is the radius of the cone and h is the height

In this case we know that the diameter d of the base is:


d=2r

So the radius is:


r=(d)/(2)\\\\r=(6)/(2)\\\\r=3\ units

and


h=8\ units

So the area is:


A = \pi*3 *√(3^2 +8^2)+\pi(3)^2


A = 108.80\ units^2
