in other words, the question is asking for the entire surface are: \[SA = Pi(rs) + Pi(r ^{2})\] where s is the slant height and r the radius, substitute and simplify

\[Surface \space area \space of \space a \space cone = \pi *r*(Slant \space height) + \pi * r^2\]

OpenStudy (eyust707):

r is 1/2 of the diameter

OpenStudy (eyust707):

which would be 1/2 of 20

OpenStudy (eyust707):

so r = 10
