The lateral area of a cone is expressed as:

Lateral surface area of a cone: L = πrs = πr√(r^2 + h^2)
                                                        L = π(9)√(9^2 + 40^2)
                                                        L = 1159.248 

Therefore, the correct answer is the last option. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

To solve this problem, we have to use the formula of lateral surface area of a cone and substituting the values into the formula and then solve.

The lateral surface area of this cone is 2260.8in^2

Lateral Surface Area of a Cone

The lateral surface area of a cone is calculated using

\(L_a = 2\pi rh\)

The data in the question are

  • diameter = 18in
  • radius = 9in
  • height = 40
  • π = 3.14

Let's substitute the values into the equation and solve

\(L_a = 2\pi r h\\L_a = 2 * 3.14 * 9 * 40 \\L_a = 2260.8in^2\)

The lateral surface area of this cone is 2260.8in^2
