Answer:

  • C. 184π units²

Explanation:

Surface Area of a cone : πrl + πr² = πr(l + r)

  1. r = radius
  2. l = slant height

Solving

  • SA = π x 8 (15 + 8)
  • SA = π x 8 x 23
  • SA = 184π units²

Answer:

184π units²

Explanation:

see attached for reference

given sloped height = 15 units

base radius = 8 units

the height of the cone can be found by using the Pythagorean equation

(sloped height)² = height ² + (base radius)²

15² = h² + 8²

h² = 15²-8² = 161

h = √161

Base surface area = πr² = π 8² = 64π units²

Lateral Surface Area,

= πr √(r² + h²)

= π(8) √[ (8)² + (√161)² ]

= 8π√(64 + 161)

= 8π√225

= 8π (15)

= 120π

Surface area = base area + lateral surface area

= 64π + 120π

= 184π units²
