Explanation:

r is the radius

h is the height

l is the slant height

The area of the curved (lateral) surface of a cone = πrl

To begin with we need to find slant height of the cone, which is determined by using Pythagoras, since the cross section is a right triangle.

l² = h² + r²

l² = 11² + 5²

l² = 121 + 25

l = √146

l = 12.08cm

And the total surface area of the cone is:

SA = πr²+ πrl

SA = π · r · (r + l)

SA = π · 5 · (5 + 12.08)

SA = 3.14 * 5 * 17.08

SA = 268.156 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is 268.156 cm2
