A right-angled triangle having its height and base equal to 24 cm and 7 cm respectively is rotated by 360⁰ along its base. Find the curved surface area of the resultant figure.
550 cm2
When a right-angled triangle is rotated by 3600 along its base, it forms a cone.
By Pythagoras theorem, slant height = √242+72 = 25 cm
When triangle rotates along its base, radius will be 7 cm.
So, curved surface area = πrl=227×7 cm×25 cm=550 cm2
