Question -

A frustum of a right circular cone has a diameter of base 20 cm, of top 12 cm and height 3 cm. Find the area of its whole surface and volume.



Answer -

Given,

Base diameter of cone (d1)= 20 cm

So the radius (r1) = 20/2cm = 10 cm

Top diameter ofCone (d2) = 12 cm

So, the radius (r2) = 12/2cm = 6 cm

Height of the cone (h)= 3 cm

Volume of the frustumof a right circular cone = 1/3 π(r22 + r12 +rr)h

= π/3(102 +6+ 10 × 6)3

= 616 cm3

Let ‘L’ be the slantheight of cone, then we know that

L = √(r1 –r21)2 + h2

L = √(10 – 6)2 +32

L = √(16 + 9)

L = 5cm

So, the slant heightof cone (L) = 5 cm

Thus,

Total surface area ofthe frustum = π(r1 + r2) x L + π r12 +π r22

= π(10 + 6) × 5 +π × 102 + π × 62

= π(80 + 100 +36)

= π(216)

= 678.85 cm2
