The surface area of a cone in this case equals the area of the base plus the area of the "body" of the cone.

The area of the base is simple. It is a circle so we use πr².

area: π(6²) = 36π

Now we need the area of the body. This equals the slant height which given times πr.

area: 13.4 × 6π = 80.4π

total area: 36π+80.4π = 365.68

answer: second option
