Answer:

slant length = 35 cm

Explanation:

A right cone has the vertex directly above the center of the base . The surface area of the right cone can be represented below.

surface area = πr(r + l)

where

r = radius

l = slant height/length

surface area = πr(r + l)

r = 10/2 = 5 cm

surface area = 628 cm²

Therefore,

628 = π × 5(5 + l)

628 = 5π(5 + l)

628 = 25π + 5πl

628 = 25 × 3.14 + 5 × 3.14 × l

628 = 78.5 + 15.7l

628 - 78.5 = 15.7l

549.5 = 15.7l

divide both sides by 15.7

l = 549.5/15.7

l = 35 cm

slant length = 35 cm
