Question -

The slant height of the frustum of a cone is 4 cm and the perimeters of its circular ends are 18 cm and 6 cm. Find the curved surface of the frustum.



Answer -

Given,

Slant height offrustum of cone (l) = 4 cm

Let ratio of the topand bottom circles be r1 and r2

And given perimetersof its circular ends as 18 cm and 6 cm

 2πr1 =18 cm; 2πr2 = 6 cm

 πr1=9 cm and πr2 = 3 cm

We know that,

Curved surface area offrustum of a cone = π(r1 + r2)l

= π(r+r2)l

= (πr1+πr2)l =(9 + 3) × 4 = (12) × 4 = 48 cm2

Therefore, the curvedsurface area of the frustum = 48 cm2
