Question -

The perimeters of the ends of a frustum of a right circular cone are 44 cm and 33 cm. If the height of the frustum be 16 cm, find its volume, the slant surface and the total surface.



Answer -

Given,

Perimeter of the upperend = 44 cm

2 ╧А r1┬а=44

2(22/7) r1┬а=44

r1┬а= 7cm

Perimeter of the lowerend = 33 cm

2 ╧А r2┬а=33

2(22/7) r2┬а=33

r2┬а=21/4 cm

Now,

Let the slant heightof the frustum of a right circular cone be L

L = 16.1 cm

So, the curved surfacearea of the frustum cone =┬а╧А(r1┬а+ r2)l

=┬а╧А(7 + 5.25)16.1

Curved surface area ofthe frustum cone = 619.65┬аcm3

Next,

The volume of thefrustum cone = 1/3 ╧А(r22┬а+ r12┬а+r1┬аr2┬а)h

= 1/3 ╧А(72┬а+5.252┬а+ (7) (5.25)┬а) x 16

= 1898.56┬аcm3

Thus, volume of thecone = 1898.56┬аcm3

Finally, the totalsurface area of the frustum cone

= ╧А(r1┬а+r2) x L + ╧А r12┬а+ ╧А r22

= ╧А(7 + 5.25) ├Ч 16.1 +╧А72┬а+ ╧А5.252

=┬а╧А(7 + 5.25) ├Ч16.1 + ╧А(72┬а+ 5.252)┬а= 860.27┬аcm2

Therefore, the totalsurface area of the frustum cone is 860.27┬аcm2
