To find the surface area of a cone, you need to calculate the area of the base and the area of the curved surface, and then add them together. In Rust, you can write a function that takes the radius and height of the cone as arguments and returns the surface area using the following formula:
main.rs546 chars14 lines
In this code, we first calculate the slant height of the cone using the Pythagorean theorem (slant_height = (radius.powi(2) + height.powi(2)).sqrt()
), and then use it to calculate the area of the curved surface (curved_surface_area = std::f64::consts::PI * radius * slant_height
). We also calculate the area of the base (base_area = std::f64::consts::PI * radius.powi(2)
), and finally add the two areas together to get the total surface area of the cone (surface_area = curved_surface_area + base_area
).
Note: std::f64::consts::PI
is a constant value in Rust that represents the mathematical constant pi (3.141592653589793).
