Question 1157788: Could you help me find the total surface area of the following cone? The answer must be left in terms of pi. The length is 4cm. Radius is 3cm. Found 2 solutions by Shin123, MathTherapy:Answer by Shin123(626) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do you mean the height of the cone when you say length? The surface area S can be found by the following formula, , where r is the radius and h is the height. Plugging in 3 for r and 4 for h, we get , which is equal to .

That other person, AS USUAL, is WRONG!! The total surface area is NOT.
Surface area of cone = Area of circular base + Lateral Surface Area, or , with r being radius, and l being slant height.
With r (radius) being 3 cm, if the height is 4 cm, then this represents a 3-4-5 right-triangle with a SLANT height (l) of 5 cm
We then have:
