Given
The circumference of the base of 16m high solid cone is 33m.
To Find
Curved Surface Area of given Cone.
Formula to be used
Base of a Solid Cone is a Circle, so
Circumference will be 2πr.
Curved Surface Area of Cone = πrl
l² = h² + r² ( from Pythagoras Theorem )
where
r is radius of the base and
l is slant height of the Cone.
h is height of the Cone.
Solving
It is given that Circumference of base is 33m.
2πr = 33
2 × 22/7 × r = 33
r = 21 / 4
So, radius of the base is 21/4 metres.
Now, calculating the Slant Height
l² = h² + r²
l² = ( 16 )² + ( 21/4 )²
l² = 256 + 441/16
l² = 283.56
l = 16.84 metres
So, the slant height of the Cone is 16.84 metres.
Now, calculating the Curved Surface Area
CSA = πrl
CSA = 22/7 × 21/4 × 16.84
CSA = 277.86 m²
( CSA is Curved Surface Area )
Answer
So, the Curved Surface Area of the given solid cone is 227.86 m² which is C option.
Answer:
circumference of base =2πr
33=2*22/7*r
- 33*7/2*22=r
- r=5.25
- l^2=r^2+h^2
- = 5.25*5.25+16*16
- l=16.8
- curved surface area=πrl
- =22/7*5.25*16.8
- =227.84cm^2
