A cone has two surfaces, lateral surface and its circular surface at the base.The surface area of a cone is the sum of the areas of these two surfaces, i.e. (1) area of the lateral surface and (2) area of its base.Let us consider a right circular cone to find its surface area.The lateral surface area of a right circular cone is π r lwhere,r is the radius of the circle at the bottom of the cone, andl is the lateral height of the coneThe surface area of the bottom circle of a cone is the same as for any circle, π r2Thus the total surface area of a right circular cone is: π r l + πr2 OR π r (l + r)
