#282 6/7 cm^2#

Explanation:

The total surface area of a cone is the sum of the area of the base and the lateral area:

#SA=pir^2+pirs#

Where:

r = radius
s= slant height

To find the slant height consider the right triangle formed by the radius(base), the height(vertical leg) then the slant height is the hypotenuse so:
#s^2=r^2+h^2=5^2+12^2=169#
#s=13cm#
Thus:
#SA=22/7(25+5*13)=1980/7=282 6/7 cm^2#

#color(violet)(T S A =282 (6/7)cm^2#

Explanation:

http://www.mathwarehouse.com/solid-geometry/cone/surface-area-of-a-cone-formula-examples.php

#"Cone Total surface area " T S A = (1/2) (2pir) * h_s + pi r^2#

#r = 5 cm, h = 12 cm, h_s = sqrt(5^2 + 12^2) = 13 cm#

#color(violet)(T S A = pi * 5 * 13 + pi 5^2 = 90pi = 1980/7 = 282 (6/7)cm^2#
