Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the lateral surface area of a cone

The formula for the lateral (side) surface area of a cone is \(A = \pi rl\), where \(r\) is the radius and \(l\) is the slant height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \(r = 3\) inches and \(l=8\) inches, and \(\pi = 3.14\). Then \(A=3.14\times3\times8\).

Step3: Calculate the value

First, \(3\times8 = 24\). Then \(3.14\times24=75.36\).

Answer:

75.36
