Curved surface area of a cone is 308 cm2 and its slant height is 14 cm. Find , (i)radius of the base (ii)total surface area of the cone.

Solution:

(i) Given curved surface area of the cone = 308 cm2

Slant height of the cone, l = 14 cm

rl = 308

(22/7)×r×14 = 308

r = 308×7/(22×14)

= 7

Hence the radius of the cone is 7 cm.

(ii)Total surface area of the cone = Base area + curved surface area

= r2rl

= (22/7)×72 +308

= (22/7)×49 +308

= 154+308

= 462

Hence the total surface area of the cone is 462 cm2.
