Answer: Approximately 1251 square meters
Explanation:
Surface area of a cone = pi*r^2 + pi*r*sqrt(r^2+h^2)
r = radius
h = height of cone
In this case,
r = 8 is the radius
h = 41
So,
SA = surface area
SA = pi*r^2 + pi*r*sqrt(r^2+h^2)
SA = pi*8^2 + pi*8*sqrt(8^2+41^2)
SA = 1250.936884057 use a calculator for this step
SA = 1251 square meters approximately
