C Program to Find Surface Area of Cone

This C program calculates surface area of cone given radius and height.

Surface area of cone calculated by using following formula:

A = πr ( r + √(r2 + h2) )

C Source Code: Cone Area

To find surface area of cone, we first read radius and height of cone from user and then we apply above formula.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h> //for sqrt() function

#define PI 3.141592

int main()
{
    float area, radius, height;

    // Reading radius
    printf("Enter radius of cone: ");
    scanf("%f", &radius);

    // Reading height
    printf("Enter height of cone: ");
    scanf("%f", &height);

    // Calculating surface area of cone
    area = PI * radius * (radius + sqrt(radius*radius + height*height));

    // Displaying area
    printf("Surface area = %f", area);

    return 0;
}

Output

Enter radius of cone: 8
Enter height of cone: 12
Surface area = 563.531372
