Question -

The radii of circular bases of a frustum of a right circular cone are 12 cm and 3 cm and the height is 12 cm. Find the total surface area and volume of frustum.



Answer -

Given the height offrustum cone = 12 cm

Radii of a frustumcone are 12 cm and 3 cm

So, r1 =12 cm; r2 = 3 cm

Let slant height ofthe frustum cone be ‘L’

Then, we know that

L = 15 cm

Now, the total surfacearea of frustum of a cone = π (r1 + r2) x L + π r12 +π r22

= π (12 + 3)15 +π122 + π32

Thus, total surfacearea of the frustum = 378 π cm2

Next,

Volume of frustum cone= 1/3 π(r22 + r12 +rr)h

= 1/3 π(122 +32 + 12 × 3) × 12 = 756π cm3

Therefore, the volumeof the frustum cone = 756 π cm3
