Hello Queen,

The formula for the lateral surface area of a cone is: L = pi x r x l
where l is the slant height.

Input the values you have and solve for the missing value.

736pi = pi(46)l Divide both sides by pi

736 = 46l Divide both sides by 46

16 = l

Your slant height is 16.

I hope this helps!
Good luck!!
