The surface area of the covering of the cone to the nearest square inches is 788 inches²
surface area of a cone = πr(r + l)
where
Therefore,
diameter = 2(radius)
14 = 2r
r = 14 / 2
r = 7 inches
l² = 7² + 28²
l = √49 + 784
l = √833
l = 28.8617393793
l = 28.86 inches
Therefore,
surface area = 3.14 × 7 (7 + 28.86)
surface area = 21.98 × 35.86
surface area = 788.2028
surface area = 788 inches²
