Answer:

Therefore, The required lateral surface of the cone is 15π inches²

Explanation:

The slant height of the cone is given to be 5 inches

The radius of base of the cone is given to be 3 inches

We need to find the lateral surface area i=of the cone

The lateral surface area of the cone is given by the formula :

Lateral surface area = π × radius × slant height

⇒ Lateral surface area = π × 3 × 5

⇒ Lateral surface area = 15π inches²

Therefore, The required lateral surface of the cone is 15π inches²
