The lateral area is twice as big as the base area of a cone. If the height of the cone is 9, what is the entire surface area (base area plus lateral area)?

Lateral Area = LA = π(r)(l) where r = radius of the base and l = slant height
LA = 2B
π(r)(l) = 2π(r2)
rl = 2r2
l = 2r

From the diagram, we can see that r2 + h2 = l2. Since h = 9 and l = 2r, some substitution yields
r2 + 92 = (2r)2
r2 + 81 = 4r2
81 = 3r2
27 = r2
B = π(r2) = 27π
LA = 2B = 2(27π) = 54π
SA = B + LA = 81π

What is the surface area of a cone with a radius of 6 in and a height of 8 in?
What is the surface area of a cone with a radius of 6 in and a height of 8 in?
Tap to reveal answer
Find the slant height of the cone using the Pythagorean theorem: _r_2 + _h_2 = _s_2 resulting in 62 + 82 = _s_2 leading to _s_2 = 100 or s = 10 in
SA = πrs + πr_2 = π(6)(10) + π(6)2 = 60_π + 36_π_ = 96_π_ in2
60_π_ in2 is the area of the cone without the base.
36_π_ in2 is the area of the base only.

What is the surface area of a cone with a height of 8 and a base with a radius of 5?
Tap to reveal answer
To find the surface area of a cone we must plug in the appropriate numbers into the equation

where
is the radius of the base, and
is the lateral, or slant height of the cone.
First we must find the area of the circle.
To find the area of the circle we plug in our radius into the equation of a circle which is 
This yields
.
We then need to know the surface area of the cone shape.
To find this we must use our height and our radius to make a right triangle in order to find the lateral height using Pythagorean’s Theorem.
Pythagorean’s Theorem states 
Take the radius and height and plug them into the equation as a and b to yield 
First square the numbers 
After squaring the numbers add them together 
Once you have the sum, square root both sides 
After calculating we find our length is 
Then plug the length into the second portion of our surface area equation above to get 
Then add the area of the circle with the conical area to find the surface area of the entire figure 
The answer is
.

The surface area of the prism can be broken into three rectangular sides and two equilateral triangular bases.
The area of the sides is given by:
, so for all three sides we get
.
The equilateral triangle is also an equiangular triangle by definition, so the base has congruent sides of 6 in and three angles of 60 degrees. We use a special right traingle to figure out the height of the triangle: 30 - 60 - 90. The height is the side opposite the 60 degree angle, so it becomes
or 5.196.
The area for a triangle is given by

.
Therefore the total surface area is
