### Cone Surface Area Calculation

#### Problem Statement:

We have a cone with the following dimensions:
- Slant height: \( 23.6 \) km
- Diameter of the base: \( 17 \) km
- Radius of the base: \( 8.5 \) km (since the radius is half of the diameter)

To find:
1. **Lateral Area (LA)**
2. **Surface Area (SA)**

#### Diagram Explanation:
The provided diagram features a cone with a slant height of \( 23.6 \) km and a base diameter of \( 17 \) km. The radius of the base is calculated as \( 8.5 \) km.

#### Calculations:

**Lateral Area (LA):**
The lateral area of a cone can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{LA} = \pi r l \]
Where:
- \( r \) is the radius of the base
- \( l \) is the slant height

Plugging in the values:
\[ \text{LA} = \pi \times 8.5 \times 23.6 \]

**Surface Area (SA):**
The surface area of a cone is the sum of the lateral area and the area of the base. The area of the base \( A_{\text{base}} \) can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle:
\[ A_{\text{base}} = \pi r^2 \]

So, the total surface area \( \text{SA} \) is:
\[ \text{SA} = \text{LA} + \pi r^2 \]

Substitute the values to get the final answer.

#### Fill-in Answers:
- \(\text{LA} = \)
- \(\text{SA} = \)

Note: Ensure you use the value of \(\pi \approx 3.14159\) for accurate calculations if specific numerical answers are required.
