What type solid is this? A right circular cone or something else?

anonymous · Answer

put the drawing up, it doesn't make sense.  if you use the slant height as 12, which it isn't, the answer is 168.  its a square pyramid

anonymous · Answer

if its not a geometric shape you cannot know it because the shape can be anything

The picture doesn't indicate that it's a square, but it looks square.  If it is, the answer of 168 is correct.  Area of a side is bh/2; if the base is square, b=7 h=12, so each side has area 42.  Four sides means 168 lateral area.

Actually, if we think all the slant heights are the same, it implies the base is square.

anonymous · Answer

yes but the height is not 12, its (12^2-3.5^2)

anonymous · Answer

sqrt(12^2-3.5^2), rather

anonymous · Answer

That is the projection of the side in the vertical plane.  I think the lateral area of the figure is usually the actual area, not its projection.
