This example demonstrates how to generate a cone by rotation and calculate its surface area. Key mathematical concepts include the geometric properties of a cone and the calculation of the surface area of a solid of revolution. Using GeoGebra commands Intersect and Point, the base and side of the cone are constructed.

GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. Intersect(xAxis, zAxis) → A
  2. Point(zAxis) → B
  3. Cone(A, B, 2) → a, c, b
