Choose the correct answer in each of the following :
The volume of a right circular cone of height 24 cm is 1232 cm3. Its curved surface area is
(a) 1254 cm2 (b) 704 cm2 (c) 550 cm2 (d) 462 cm2
ANSWER:
(c) 550 cm2
Let r cm be the radius of the cone.
The volume of the right circular cone = 1232 cm3
Then we have:
13 × 227 × r2 × 24 =1232cm3
⇒r2=49
⇒ r = 7 cm
Curved surface area of the cone =πrl
=227 × 7 × (72+242) = 550cm2
