The lateral area of a cone is given by the formula LA = πrl, where r is the radius of the base and l is the slant height of the cone.
Since the figure is not drawn to scale, we cannot determine the exact dimensions of the cone. However, we can calculate the lateral area using the given information.
Let's assume the slant height of the cone is 24 meters and the radius is 3 meters.
Using the formula LA = πrl, we can calculate the lateral area:
LA = π * 3 * 24 = 72π ≈ 226.2 m^2
Therefore, the lateral area of the cone to the nearest whole number is 226 m^2.
The closest option is 28742 m2m228742 m squared, but the calculated answer is 226 m^2.
