★ A semi-circular sheet of metalof diameter 28 cm is bent to form an open conical cup. Find the capacity of the cup.
When the semicircular sheet is bent into an open conical cup, the radius of the sheet becomes the slant height of the conical cup.
∴ l = 14
Circumference of the base of the cone
= length of arc ABC
= (π×14)cm = = 44cm
let the radius of the cone be r cm. Then,
2πr = 44 = = 44 => r = 7cm.
let the height of the cone be h cm. Then,
h² = l²–r² = (14)²–(7)² = 196–49 = 147.
∴ h = √147 = √7×7×3 = 7√3 cm
= (7×1.732)cm = 12.12cm
Capacity capacity of the conical cup
= volume of the conical cup
= ⅓πr²h
= ½ ×
= (154×4.04)cm³
=622.16cm³
★For a right circular cone of radius r units, height h units and land height = l units, we have
☙Slant height of the cone (l) = √h²+r² units
☙Volume of the cone = ⅓πr²h cubic units
☙Area of curved surface = (πrl) sq units = (πr√h²+r²) sq units
☙Total surface area = (area of the curved surface)+(area of the base)
= (πrl+πr²) sq units = πr(l+r) sq units
