We have the following equation to find the lateral area of the cone:


L=\pi\cdot r\cdot\sqrt[]{r^2+h^2}

where 'r' is the radius of the base and 'h' is the height.

In this case, we have the following:


\begin{gathered} r=(d)/(2)=(6)/(2)=3 \\ h=8 \end{gathered}

then, using the equation above, we get:


\begin{gathered} L=(3.14)(3)\cdot\sqrt[]{(3^2+(8)^2}=9.42\cdot\sqrt[]{9+64}=9.42\cdot\sqrt[]{73}=80.48 \\ \Rightarrow L=80.48ft^2\approx81ft^2^{} \end{gathered}

therefore, the lateral area of the cone is 80.48 ft^2
