- Surface area formula: \( 4\pi r^2 \).
- Substitute: \( 4 \times 3.14 \times 5^2 \).
- Calculate: \( 4 \times 3.14 \times 25 = 314 \) square cm.
- Here, \( 7^2 + 24^2 = 49 + 576 = 625 \) and \( 25^2 = 625 \).
- Since they are equal, it is a right triangle.
- Area formula for a right triangle: \( \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \).
