George made a conical hat to match his costume for a party. the hat has a slant height of 14 inches and a base circumference of 16 inches. the cone is open at one end. to the nearest square unit, what is the lateral area of the hat?

The formula for the surface area of a straight cone is
 L. S. A. = π rl
 where,
 l = is the height of inclination of the cone
 r = radius of the base:
 For r we have:
 2 * π * r = 16
 r = 8 / π
 Substituting values:
 L. S. A. = π (8 / π) (14)
 L. S. A. = 112 in ^ 2
 
 The lateral area of the hat is:
 L. S. A. = 112 in ^ 2
