The formula for the surface area of a cone is πr(r + l), where r is the radius and l is the slant height.

First, we need to find the radius. The radius is half of the diameter, so the radius is 14/2 = 7 inches.

Then, we can substitute the values into the formula:

Surface area = π * 7 * (7 + 20) = 3.14 * 7 * 27 = 594.18 square inches.

So, the surface area of the cone peak is approximately 594.18 square inches.
