RD Chapter 20 Surface Areas and Volume of A Right Circular Cone Ex 20.1 Solutions

Question - 1 : - Find the curved surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 60 cm and the radius of its base is 21 cm.

Answer - 1 : -

Radius of the base of the cone = 21 cm
and slant height (l) = 60 cm

Question - 2 : - The radius of a cone is 5 cm and vertical height is 12 cm. Find the area of the curved surface.

Answer - 2 : -

Radius of the base of a cone = 5 cm
Vertical height (h) = 12 cm

Question - 3 : - The radius of a cone is 7 cm and area of curved surface is 176 cm2. Find the slant height.

Answer - 3 : -

Curved surface area of a cone = 176 cm2
and radius (r) = 1 cm2

Question - 4 : - The height of a cone is 21 cm. Find the area of the base if the slant height is 28 cm.

Answer - 4 : -

Heightof the cone (h) = 21 cm
Slant height (l) = 28 cm
l2 = r2 +h2
r2 = l2–h2 = (28)2 –(21 )2
784 –441 = 343 …(i)
Now area of base = πr2
 x343 [From (i)]

= 22 x 49 = 1078 cm2

Question - 5 : - Find the total surface area of a right circular cone with radius 6 cm and height 8 cm.

Answer - 5 : -

Radius of base of cone (r) = 6 cm
and height (h) = 8 cm

Question - 6 : - Find the curved surface area of a cone with base radius 5.25 cm and slant height 10 cm. [NCERT]

Answer - 6 : -

Radius of base of a cone (r) = 5.25 cm
and slant height (l) = 10 cm
Curved surface area = πrl

Question - 7 : - Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21 m and diameter of its base is 24 m. 

Answer - 7 : -

Slant height of a cone (l) = 21 m
and diameter of its base = 24 m
∴ Radius (r) = 24/2 = 12 m
Now total surface area = πr(l + r)

Question - 8 : - The area of the curved surface of a cone is 60π cm2. If the slant height of the cone be 8 cm, find the radius of the base.

Answer - 8 : -

Curved surface area of a cone = 6071 cm2
Slant height (l) = 8 cm

Question - 9 : - The curved surface area of a cone is 4070 cm2 and its diameter is 70 cm. What is the slant height ? (Use π = 22/7).

Answer - 9 : -

Surface area of a cone = 4070 cm2
Diameter of its base = 70 cm

Question - 10 : - The radius and slant height of a cone are in the ratio of 4 : 7. If its curved surface area is 792 cm2, find its radius. (Use π = 22/7)

Answer - 10 : - Curved surface area of a cone = 792 cm2
Ratio in radius and slant height = 4:7
Let radius = 4x
Then slant height = 7x
Curved surface area πrl =792
