Find the area $ A $ of a cone if radius $r = 5$ and slant height $l = 13$.

$A = 90\pi$

STEP 1: find base area $ AB $

To find base area $ AB $ use formula:

$$ AB = r^2 \cdot \pi $$

After substituting $ r = 5 $ we have:

$$ AB = 5^2 \cdot \pi $$ $$ AB = 25 \cdot \pi $$

STEP 2: find Curved Surface Area $ CSA $

To find Curved Surface Area $ CSA $ use formula:

$$ CSA = r \cdot l \cdot \pi$$

After substituting $ r = 5 $ and $ l = 13 $ we have:

$$ CSA = 5 \cdot 13 \cdot \pi$$$$ CSA = 5 \cdot 13 \cdot \pi $$$$ CSA = 65\pi $$

STEP 3: find area $ A $

To find area $ A $ use formula:

$$ A = AB + CSA $$

After substituting $ AB = 25\pi $ and $ CSA = 65\pi $ we have:

$$ A = 25\pi + 65\pi $$ $$ A = 25\pi + 65\pi $$ $$ A = 90\pi $$
