do you know the formula?

ok I'll tell you: $SA=\pi rl +\pi r^2$ r is the radius of the base and l is the slant length. The base portion of the formula is the Pi*r^2 which is just the area of a circle. The first area is the area of the cone part. To get this we cut the cone and unfold it so that it is a sector of a circle with radius l (slant length) and arc length 2*Pi*r. The portion of the whole circle is 2Pi*r/(2Pi*l) and the area of the whole circle would be Pi*l^2 so we multiply them together: $\frac{2 \pi r}{2 \pi l}\pi l^2=\pi r l$ that's where the first part of the equation comes from
