A waffle cone is in the shape of a cone with a slant height of 8 inches and a radius of 3 inches. A baker wants to know the surface area of the cone in order to cover the cone with melted chocolate. What is the surface area of the side of the cone in square inches? Use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
The surface area of the side of the cone can be found using the formula A = πrℓ, where r is the radius and ℓ is the slant height.
Plugging in the given values, we get:
A = 3.14 * 3 * 8
A = 75.36
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the surface area of the side of the cone is 75.36 square inches. Answer: \boxed{75.36}.
