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.
_ square inches
To find the surface area of the cone, we need to find the area of the curved surface.
The formula for the surface area of a cone is: A = πrℓ, where r is the radius and ℓ is the slant height.
Given:
Radius (r) = 3 inches
Slant height (ℓ) = 8 inches
Plugging in the values:
A = 3.14 * 3 * 8
A ≈ 75.36 square inches
Therefore, the surface area of the side of the cone is approximately 75.36 square inches.
