The surface area of image formed = Curved surface area of both cones.

Diameter of cone = 16 \; cm

Radius of cone = 8 \; cm

height of cone = 15 \; cm

\text{Curved surface area of cone}=\pi r\sqrt{h^2+r^2}

=3.14 \times 8 \times \sqrt{15^2+8^2}

=427.04 \; cm^2

\text{So, curved surface area of both cones}= 2 \times \text{C.S.A of 1 cone}

                                                                                  = 2 \times 427.04

                                                                                  = 854.08 \; cm^2

Hence the surface area of the shape so formed is 854.08 sq. cm
