Complete Question :

The surface area of a given cone is 1,885.7143 square inches. What is the slant height?

Answer:

25 inches

Explanation:

In the diagram, we are given the following information

Height of the cone = 20 inches

Radius of the cone = 15 inches.

The formula for the slant height of a cone represented by l =

l² = r² + h²

l = √(r² + h²)

l = √(15² + 20²)

l = √(225 + 400)

l = √625

l = 25 inches

Therefore, the slant height of this cone = 25 inches
