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) square inches
The surface area of the side of the cone can be found by using the formula for the lateral surface area of a cone, which is given by:
Lateral Surface Area = π * radius * slant height
Substituting the given values:
Lateral Surface Area = 3.14 * 3 * 8
Lateral Surface Area = 75.36
Therefore, the surface area of the side of the cone is approximately 75.36 square inches.
