The lateral surface area (in ${cm}^{2}$) of a cone with height $3$ cm and radius $4$ cm is:

  1. $62\cfrac{6}{7}$

  2. $52\cfrac{6}{7}$

  3. $31\cfrac{3}{7}$

  4. $15\cfrac{5}{7}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.
For a cone,  $l = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $, where $h$ is the height.

Hence, $ l = \sqrt { { 3 }^{ 2 }+  {4}^{ 2 } } $ 

$ l = \sqrt {25} $

$ l = 5 $ cm

Hence, Curved surface area of this cone, $ =\displaystyle  \frac {22}{7} \times 4 \times 5 = 62 \frac {6}{7}  {cm}^{2} $

The circumference of the base of a 10 m high conical tent is 44 metres Then the length of canvas used in making the tent if width of canvas is 2 m is (Use $\displaystyle \pi =22/7$)

  1. $132.2 m$

  2. $134.2 m$

  3. $130.2 m$

  4. $136.2 m$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Let r m be the radius of the base h m be the height and l m be the slant height of the cone Then 
Circumference=44 metres
$\displaystyle \Rightarrow 2\pi r=44\Rightarrow 2\times \frac{22}{7}\times r=44\Rightarrow r=7$
metres It is given that h=10 metres
$\displaystyle \therefore l^{2}=r^{2}+h^{2}\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}$
$\displaystyle=\sqrt{49+100}=\sqrt{149}=12.2m$
Now surface area of the tent $\displaystyle =\pi rl$
$\displaystyle \frac{22}{7}\times 7\times 12.2m^{2}=268.4m^{2}$
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Area of the canvas used $\displaystyle =268.4m^{2}$
It is given that the width of the canvas is 2 m
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Length of the canvas used=$\displaystyle =\frac{area}{width}=\frac{268.4}{2}=134.2m$

Given that height of right circular cone $h=8cm$

Radius of right circular cone $r=3cm$

Volume of right circular cone$V=\dfrac{1}{3}{{r}^{2}}\pi .h$

$ =\dfrac{1}{3}{{.3}^{2.}}\pi .8c{{m}^{3}} $

$ =24\pi c{{m}^{3}}$

Hence, this is the answer.

The circumference of the base of a 9 m high wooden solid cone is 44 m The slant height of the cone is

  1. $\displaystyle \sqrt{110}m$

  2. $\displaystyle \sqrt{130}m$

  3. $\displaystyle \sqrt{150}m$

  4. $\displaystyle \sqrt{180}m$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let r be the radius of the base of cone.

So, circumference of the base of the cone$=2\pi r=44  m$
$\Rightarrow 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times r=44$    $[\because \pi=\dfrac{22}{7}]$
$\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{44\times 7}{22\times 2}=7  m$
So the radius of the cone=7 m
$\therefore  Slant  height =\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$
$\Rightarrow \sqrt{7^2+9^2}=\sqrt{49+81}=\sqrt{130}  m$


The total surface area of a cone is $\displaystyle 770cm^{2}$ If its slant height is four times the radius of the cone the diameter fo the cone is

  1. 14 cm

  2. 7 cm

  3. 20 cm

  4. 18 cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Total surface area of cone $\displaystyle TSA _{cone}=770cm^{2}$
$\displaystyle l=4r$
$\displaystyle \therefore TSA _{cone}=\pi rl+\pi r^{2}=\pi r\times 4r+\pi r^{2}$
or $\displaystyle 770=5\pi r^{2}$
or $\displaystyle r^{2}=\frac{770}{5\times 22}\times 7=49$
$\displaystyle \therefore r=\sqrt{49}=7$
$\displaystyle \therefore$ Diameter, d=$\displaystyle 2\times 7$=14 cm

The radius and the slant height of a cone are in the ratio 7:13 and the curved surface area is $\displaystyle 286cm^{2}$ Find its radius

  1. 5 cm

  2. 7 cm

  3. 8.8 cm

  4. 10.3 cm


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let $\displaystyle \frac{r}{l}=\frac{7}{13}=x$
Curved surface area CSA=286 $\displaystyle cm^{2}$
But CSA=$\displaystyle \pi rl$
$\displaystyle \therefore 286=\frac{22}{7}\times 7x\times 13x$
or $\displaystyle x^{2}=\frac{286}{22\times 13}=1$
or x=1
$\displaystyle \therefore $ r=7 cm
$\displaystyle \therefore $ Diameter d=14 cm

Explanation:

Given r=12 m l=5.6 m B=4 m
Total surface area of the tent=Area of the canvas
i.e. $\displaystyle \pi rl=L\times B$
or $\displaystyle \frac{22}{7}\times 12\times 5.6=L\times 4$
or 211.2=4L
or $\displaystyle L=\frac{211.2}{4}=52.8m$'

  2. $600\pi$ ${cm}^{2}$

  3. $300\pi$ ${cm}^{2}$

  4. $600$ ${cm}^{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We have,

circumference $=120\pi\ cm$, slant height$(l)=10\ cm$
$\Rightarrow 2\pi r=120\pi$
$\Rightarrow 2r=120$
$\Rightarrow r=60\ cm$

We know that the curved surface area of the cone
$=\pi r l$

So,
$=\pi \times 60 \times 10$

$=600\pi\ cm^2$

Hence, this is the answer

So, the required ratio

$=\dfrac{\pi r l _1}{\pi r l _2}$

$=\dfrac{l _1 }{l _2 }$

$=\dfrac{4}{3}=4:3$

Hence, this is the answer.

Explanation:

The formula of curved surface area of a right circular cone $ =\pi \times r\times l $

$ \Rightarrow l=\sqrt { { (h }^{ 2 } } +{ r }^{ 2 }) $
$ \Rightarrow l=\sqrt { 8^{ 2 } } +{ 15 }^{ 2 }) $
$ \Rightarrow l=17 $ cm
Now substitute the value in above equation. we have
Curved surface area $ =\pi \times 8\times 17 $
$ \Rightarrow 136\pi \ { \text{cm} }^{ 2 } $
So, option D is the correct.

  4. $2681 \, cm^2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Given the area of the base of  a cone is $616\ cm^2$.
If $r$ be the radius of the base of the cone then 
$\pi r^2=616$
or, $\dfrac{22}{7}\times r^2=616$
or, $r=14$.
Also, given height $(h)=48\ cm$.
Then slant height $(l)=\sqrt{48^2+14^2}=2\sqrt{625}=50\ cm$.
$\therefore$ total surface area of the cone $=\pi r(r+l)=\dfrac{22}{7}\times 14\times 64=2816\ cm^2$.

Let the radius of the cone and cylinder be $r$.
The base radii of cone and cylinder are equal.
Given curved surface areas are equal,
$\therefore (\pi)rl = 2(\pi)rh$
$\therefore \dfrac {l}{h}=2$
Hence, option A is correct.

  1. $440\ \text{cm}^2$

  2. $550\ \text{cm}^2$

  3. $330\ \text{cm}^2$

  4. $110\ \text{cm}^2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
Radius $r = 7 cm$

Height $h = 24 cm$

To find slant height $l$

$l _{2}^{2}=r^{2}+h^{2}$

$l^{2}=7^{2}+24^{2}$

$l^{2}=625$

$l=25 cm $

Curved surface area of cone is $\pi rl$

                               $=\dfrac{22}{7}\times 7\times 25$

                               $= 22\times 25$

                               $=550 cm ^{2}$

Curved surface area of cone is $550cm^{2}$

Mark the correct alternative of the following.
A right circular cylinder and a right circular cone have the same radius and the same volume. The ratio of the height of the cylinder to that of the cone is?

  1. $3:5$

  2. $2:5$

  3. $3:1$

  4. $1:3$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is given that, the volumes of both cylinder and cone are the same.

So, let volume of the cylinder and cone be $V.$
It is also given that, their base radii are the same.
So, let radius of the cylinder $=$ Radius of the cone $=r$
Let the height of the cylinder and the cone be $h _1$ and $h _2$ respectively.
Volume of cone $=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h _2$
Volume of cylinder $=\pi r^2 h _1$
We know both volumes are same.
$\therefore$  $\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h _2=\pi r^2 h _1$

$\Rightarrow$  $\dfrac{h _1}{h _2}=\dfrac{\pi r^2}{3\pi r^2}$

$\therefore$  $\dfrac{h _1}{h _2}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Mark the correct alternative of the following.
If the base radius and the height of a right circular cone are increased by $20\%$, then the percentage increase in volume is approximately.

  1. $60$

  2. $68$

  3. $73$

  4. $78$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Let original radius of base and height are $R$ and $H$ respectively.
Original height $=H$

New radius $=\dfrac{120}{100}R=\dfrac{6}{5}R$

And new height $=\dfrac{6}{5}H$

Original volume of cone $V _1=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi R^2 H$

New volume of cone $V _2=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi \left(\dfrac{6}{5}R\right)^2\times \dfrac{6}{5}H$

                                          $=\dfrac{216}{125}V _1$

Now, increased in volume $=\dfrac{216}{125}V _1-V _1=\dfrac{91}{125}V _1$

$\therefore$  Percentage increased in volume $=\left(\dfrac{91}{125}V _1\times\dfrac{1}{V _1}\right)\times 100\%$

                                                              $=72.81\%\approx 73\%$

Mark the correct alternative of the following.
The total surface area of a cone of radius $\dfrac{r}{2}$ and length $2l$, is?

  1. $2\pi r(l+r)$

  2. $\pi r\left(1+\dfrac{r}{4}\right)$

  3. $\pi r(l+r)$

  4. $2\pi rl$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Let $r$ and $l$ be base radius and slant height of cone.

Total surface area $=\pi r (l+r)$
Here, it is given that, 
The base radius is $\dfrac{r}{2}$ and that the slant height is $2l.$
Substituting these values in the above equation we have,
Total surface area $=\pi\left(\dfrac{r}{2}\right)\left(2l+\dfrac{r}{2}\right)$

                               $=\pi r\left(l+\dfrac{r}{4}\right)$

If the radius of the base and the height of a right circular cone are respectively $21$ cm and $28$ cm, then the curved surface area of the cone is $\displaystyle \left(\pi\, =\, \frac{22}{7}\right)$

  1. $3696\, cm^{2}$

  2. $2310\, cm^{2}$

  3. $2550\, cm^{2}$

  4. $2410\, cm^{2}$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

For a cone, $l = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $ where h is the height
Hence, $l = \sqrt { { 28 }^{ 2 }+  {21}^{ 2 } } $

$ l = 35 $ cm 

Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$  where r is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.
Hence, curved surface area of this cone $ = \dfrac {22}{7} \times 21 \times 35 = 2310  {cm}^{2} $

A conical tent with base-radius $7$ m and height $24$ m is made from $5$ m wide canvas. The length of the canvas used is $\displaystyle \left( \pi\, =\, \frac{22}{7}\right)$

  1. $100$ m

  2. $105$ m

  3. $110$ m

  4. $115$ m


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Area of the canvas $ = $ Curved surface area of the conical tent
Since the canvas is rectangular in shape, its area is $=$ length $\times $ width
Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.
For a cone, $ l= \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $, where $l$ is the slant height.

Hence, $ l = \sqrt { { 24 }^{ 2 }+  {7}^{ 2 } } $ 

$\Rightarrow  l = \sqrt {625} $

$ \Rightarrow l = 25 $ cm

Hence, length $ \times 5 =\displaystyle \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 7\times 25 $

$ \therefore $ length $= 110 $ m

If the radius and slant height of a cone are in the ratio $4 : 7$ and its curved surface area is $792 cm^{2}$, then its radius is $\displaystyle \left(\pi\, =\, \frac{22}{7}\right)$.

  1. $10$ cm

  2. $8$ cm

  3. $12$ cm

  4. $9$ cm


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Let the radius of the cone be $ 4a$ and slant height $ = 7a$ 

Given, curved surface area $=792$ $cm^2$
Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.

Hence, curved surface area of this cone $ = \displaystyle \frac {22}{7} \times 4a \times 7a = 792 $
$ \therefore  a = 3 $ cm 

Hence, radius $ = 4a  = 12 $ cm 

If the curved surface area of a right circular cone is $12,320 cm^{2}$ and its base radius is $56$ cm, then its height is $\displaystyle \left(\pi\, =\, \frac{22}{7}\right)$

  1. $42$ cm

  2. $36$ cm

  3. $48$ cm

  4. $50$ cm


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.
Hence, curved surface area of this cone, $ = \dfrac {22}{7} \times 56 \times l = 12320 $ 

$ \therefore l = 70  cm $

For a cone, $ l = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $, where $h$ is the height

Hence, $ 70 = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {56}^{ 2 } } $ 

$\Rightarrow  4900 = { h }^{ 2 } + 3136 $

$\Rightarrow  { h }^{ 2 } = 1764 $

$ \Rightarrow  h = 42 $ cm

What length of tarpaulin $3$ m wide will be required to make conical tent of height $8$ m and base radius $6$ m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately $20$ cm.

 (Use $\pi=3.14$)

  1. $63$ m

  2. $85$ m

  3. $74$ m

  4. $92$ m


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given,

$h=8m$, $r=6m$

$\therefore l=\sqrt {r^2+h^2}$

 $=\sqrt {6^2+8^2}$

 $=\sqrt {36+64}$

 $=\sqrt {100}$

 $=10$ m

$\therefore$ width surface area $=$ $\pi(r)(l)$

                                    $=3.14(6)(10)$

                                    $=1883.4m^2$

Width of tarpaulin $= 3$ m

$\therefore$ length of tarpaulin $= \displaystyle \frac{188.4}{3}$
                                   $=62.8$ m

Extra length of material required $=20$ cm
                                                       $=0.2$ m

$\therefore$ actual length of tarpaulin required $= 62.8$ m $+0.2$ m
                                                              $=63$ m

A joker's cap is in the form of a right circular cone of base radius $7$ cm and height $24$ cm. Find the area of the sheet required to make $100$ such caps.

  1. $55000{cm}^{2}$

  2. $48724{cm}^{2}$

  3. $30000{cm}^{2}$

  4. $11256{cm}^{2}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Area of sheet required to make a cap is the Curved surface area of a cone which is $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.

For a cone, $l = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $, where $h$ is the height

Hence, $ l = \sqrt { { 24 }^{ 2 }+  {7}^{ 2 } } $ 

$ \therefore l = 25 $ cm

Hence, area of sheet required to make one cap $

= \dfrac {22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 550 $ sq.cm  
Area of sheet required to make $100$ caps $ 100\times 550=55000$ sq.cm

The slant height and base diameter of a conical tomb are $25$ m and $14$ m respectively. Find the cost of white washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs. $210$ per $100{m}^{2}$.

  1. Rs. $5627$

  2. Rs. $4156$

  3. Rs. $1155$

  4. Rs. $964$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.
Radius of the tomb $ = \dfrac {\text{Diameter}}{2} = 7  m $
Hence, CSA of this conical tomb , $ = \dfrac {22}{7} \times 7 \times 25 = 550$  sq. m.

Cost of white washing the tomb at Rs. $210$ per $100 {m}^{2} = \dfrac {210}{100} \times 550 =  $ Rs. $  1155 $

The length of canvas $1.1$ m wide required to build a conical tent of height $14$ m and the floor area $346.5{m}^{2}$, is

  1. $65$ m

  2. $525$ m

  3. $490$ m

  4. $860$ m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given, $h = 14$ m and floor area $= 346.5$ $m^{ 2 }$
$\Rightarrow \pi { r }^{ 2 }=346.5\ \Rightarrow { r }^{ 2 }=346.5\times \dfrac { 7 }{ 22 } =110.25\ \Rightarrow r=10.5$
$\therefore$ $l=\sqrt { { r }^{ 2 }+{ h }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { { \left( 10.5 \right)  }^{ 2 }+{ \left( 14 \right)  }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 110.25+196 } $
$=\sqrt { 306.25 } =17.5$ m
$\therefore$ curved surface area $=\pi rl$
$=\cfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 10.5\times 17.5=\cfrac { 4042.5 }{ 7 } { m }^{ 2 }$
Width of cloth $=1.1$ m
$\therefore$ length of cloth required $=\cfrac { \cfrac { 4042.5 }{ 7 }  }{ 1.1 } =\cfrac {4042.5 }{ 7.7 } = 525$ m
Hence, $525$ m length of canvas is required to build the conical tent.

The area of the base of a cone is $616$ sq.cm. Its height is $48cm$. What is its total surface area ?

  1. $2816{cm}^{2}$

  2. $2861{cm}^{2}$

  3. $2618{cm}^{2}$

  4. $2681{cm}^{2}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The base of a cone is circular. 

Area of a circle  $ = \pi { r }^{ 2 } = 616 $
$\Rightarrow r^2 = \cfrac {616 \times 7}{22} = 196$

$ => r = 14  cm $

Total surface area of a cone $ = \pi r (r + l) $ 
where,
$r$ is the radius of the cone and 
$l$ is the slant height.

For a cone, $l = \sqrt {r^2+h^2}$ 

where, $h$ is the perpendicular height


Hence, $l = \sqrt { { 48}^{ 2 }+  {14}^{ 2 } } \sqrt {2500} $

$ l = 50  cm $

Hence, TSA of this cone, $ = \cfrac {22}{7} \times 14 \times (14 + 50) = 2816  {cm}^{2} $

A circus tent is in the form of a cone over a cylinder. The diameter of the base is $9$ m, the height of cylindrical part is $4.8$ m and the total height of the tent is $10.8$ m. The canvas required for the tent is ..........

  1. $24.184$ sq.m

  2. $2418.4$ sq.m

  3. $241.84$ sq.m

  4. None of these


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The amount of canvas used to make the tent $ = $ Curved surface area of cylindrical part $ + $ Curved surface area of the conical part.
Curved Surface Area of a Cylinder of Radius "$R$" and height "$h$" $ = 2\pi Rh$
Radius of the cylindrical part $ = \dfrac {Diameter}{2} = \dfrac {9}{2} $ m 
Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$, where $r$ is the radius of the cone and $l$ is the slant height.

Radius of the conical part $ = \dfrac {Diameter}{2} = \dfrac {9}{2}  m $

Height of the conical part $ = 10.8 - 4.8 = 6 $ m 

For a cone, $  l= \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $, where $h$ is the height

Hence, $l = \sqrt { { 6 }^{ 2 }+  {4.5}^{ 2 } } $

$\therefore  l = 7.5  $ m 

Hence, area of canvas $ = 2 \times \pi \times 4.5 \times 4.8 + \pi \times 4.5 \times 7.5$

$ = 76.95 \pi  $

$= 241.84  {m}^{2} $

The radius of a cone is $3\ cm$ and vertical height is $4\ cm$. Find the area of the curved surface.

  2. $66.05\ {cm}^{2}$

  3. $52.25\ {cm}^{2}$

  4. $47.14\ {cm}^{2}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$

For a cone, $l = \sqrt { {h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $

Hence, $l = \sqrt { { 3 }^{2 }+  {4}^{ 2 } } $

$ l = 5  cm $
So, CSA of this cone, $ = \cfrac {22}{7} \times 3 \times 5 = 47.14  {cm}^{2} $

The radius of the base of a conical tent is $7\space m$. The tent is $24\space m$ high. Find the cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if one square meter of canvas costs $Rs. 180$ (Take $\pi = 3.14$)

  1. $Rs. 99000$

  2. $Rs. 98000$

  3. $Rs. 95000$

  4. $Rs. 97000$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Radius $= 7m$,  height $= 24m$

CSA of tent = $\pi rl$
Now, $l=\sqrt { { r }^{ 2 }+{ h }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { { 7 }^{ 2 }+{ 24 }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 49+576 } =\sqrt { 625 } =25cm$
Now, CSA of tent = $\dfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 7\times 25=550m$
Therefore, cost of canvas = Rs.$(550$$\times $$180) = Rs.99000$

  2. $195\space cm^2$

  3. $190.5\space cm^2$

  4. $185.5\space cm^2$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let radius be $4x$ and height be $3x$.


$\therefore $ Area of base $=$ $\pi { r }^{ 2 }=154\Rightarrow \dfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { \left( 4x \right)  }^{ 2 }=154$


$\Rightarrow \quad 16{ x }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { 154\times 7 }{ 22 } \Rightarrow { x }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { 49 }{ 16 } \Rightarrow x=\dfrac { 7 }{ 4 } $

$\therefore $ Radius $=$ $4\times \dfrac { 7 }{ 4 } =7cm,\quad height=3\times \dfrac { 7 }{ 4 } =\dfrac { 21 }{ 4 } =5.25cm$

Now, CSA of cone $=$ $\pi rl\quad and\quad l=\sqrt { { r }^{ 2 }+{ h }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { 49+{ \left( 5.25 \right)  }^{ 2 } } $

$\therefore $ CSA $=$ $\dfrac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 7\times 8.75=192.5{ cm }^{ 2 }$

  2. $\displaystyle 0.9734{ \ cm }^{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle 0.9734\ mm$

  4. $\displaystyle 0.9734{\  mm }^{ 2 }$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Given, radius $=0.2$ mm and height $=1.2$ mm 
Then find the value of slant height(s) of a conical water tank, using Pythagoras theorem, since the cross section is a right triangle.
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }={ h }^{ 2 }+{ r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }={ 1.2 }^{ 2 }+{ 0.2 }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }=1.44+0.4$
$\displaystyle s=\sqrt { \left( 1.84 \right)  } $
$\displaystyle s=1.35$ mm
So, surface area of a cone $\displaystyle =\pi rs+\pi { r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle =3.14\times 0.2\times 1.35+3.14\times 0.2\times 0.2$
$\displaystyle =0.8478+0.1256$
$\displaystyle =0.9734{\  mm }^{ 2 }$

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Surface area of a cone $= $ Curved surface area of a cone $+$ Area of circle
So, SA $\displaystyle =\pi rs+\pi { r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle =100+3.14\times 200\times 200$
$\displaystyle =100+125600$
$\displaystyle =125700{ cm }^{ 2 }$

Find the surface area of a conical hat. If its slant height is three times the radius, the base diameter of a hat is $4$ inches. (Use $\displaystyle \pi =3$)

  1. $\displaystyle 48{ \ in }^{ 2 }$

  2. $\displaystyle 36\ in$

  3. $\displaystyle 48\ in$

  4. $\displaystyle 46{\  in }^{ 2 }$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Surface area of cone is $A=πr(r+l)$


Here, the diameter is $4$ in and therefore, the radius is half of diameter that is $r=2$ in and it is also given that slant height is thrice the radius that is $l=(3\times 2)=6$ in. We use $π=3$.

Thus,
 
$A=πr(r+l)=3\times 2\left( 2+6 \right) =3\times 2\times 8=48$ in$^2$
 
Hence, the surface area of the conical hat is $48$ in$^2$.

$\displaystyle =\dfrac {22}{7} \times 14\times 49+\dfrac {22}{7} \times 14\times 14$

$\displaystyle =2156+616$

$\displaystyle =2772{ m }^{ 2 }$

The total surface area of a conical jar is $\displaystyle 740{ ft }^{ 2 }$. If its slant height is two times the radius, then what is the base diameter of the colical jar? (use $\displaystyle \pi =3$).

  1. $18.12$ ft

  2. $18.10$ ft

  3. $18.24$ ft

  4. $18.31$ ft


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Formula:

Surface area of cone=$\pi rs+\pi r^2$
$s=2r$
where 
$r$ is the radius of the base of the cone.
$s$ is the slant height of the cone.
We know that surface area =$740\ ft^2$
$\therefore \pi rs+\pi r^2=740$
Substituting $s=2r$ and $\pi=3$ in the above equation we get,
$ 3 \times r \times 2r+3 r^2=740$
$\Rightarrow 3*2r^2+3r^2=740$
$\Rightarrow 6r^2+3r^2=740$
$\Rightarrow 9r^2=740$
$\Rightarrow r^2=\dfrac{740}{9}$
$\Rightarrow r^2=82.22$
$\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{82.22}$
$\Rightarrow r=9.06$
The diameter(d)=twice of radius
$\therefore d=2r$
$\therefore d=2 \times 9.06$
$\therefore d=18.12\ ft$

Correct Option: C
Explanation:

$\displaystyle Diameter=\frac { radius }{ 2 } $
$\displaystyle radius=\dfrac{1}{2}ft$
Surface area of a cone $\displaystyle =\pi rs+\pi { r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle 3.14\times { 1 }/{ 2 }\times 12+3.14\times { 1 }/{ 2 }\times { 1 }/{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle 18.84+0.785$
$\displaystyle 19.625{\  ft }^{ 2 }$

  2. $\displaystyle 9734{ \ cm }^{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle 3297\ mm$

  4. $\displaystyle 3297\ m$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Find the value of slant height(s) of a ice-cream cone, using Pythagoras theorem, since the cross section is a right triangle.
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }={ h }^{ 2 }+{ r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }={ 20 }^{ 2 }+{ 21 }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }=400+441$
$\displaystyle s=\sqrt { 841 } $
$\displaystyle s=29$ m
So, surface area of a cone $\displaystyle =\pi rs+\pi { r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle =3.14\times 21\times 29+3.14\times 21\times 21$
$\displaystyle =1912.26+1384.74$
$\displaystyle =3297{ m }^{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle 159.983\ cm$

  4. $\displaystyle 159.983{ \ m }^{ 2 }$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The value of slant height(s) of a cone, using Pythagoras theorem, since the cross section is a right triangle is

$s^2=h^2+r^2$
where 
h= height of cone
r=radius of the base of the cone
we know that
$h=\sqrt2\ cm$
$r=5\ cm$
$\therefore s^2=\sqrt2^2+5^2=2+25=27$
$\Rightarrow s^2=27$
$\Rightarrow s=\sqrt27$
$\Rightarrow s=5.19\ cm$

Total Surface area of cone$=\pi rs+\pi r^2$
$\pi=3.14$
$r=5\ cm$
$s=5.19\ cm$
$\therefore \pi rs+\pi r^2=3.14\times 5\times5.19+3.14\times 5\times5$
$=81.483+78.5$
$=159.983\ cm^2$

The total surface area of a conical tent is $ 920$ square meter and its radius $14$ m. Find the slant height. (Round off your answer to the nearest whole number).

  1. $7$ m

  2. $6$ m

  3. $5$ m

  4. $6.5$ m


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Formula:

Surface area of cone$=\pi rs+\pi r^2$
where r is the radius of the base of the cone and s is the slant height.
We know that surface area of cone$=940\ m^2$
$r =14\ m$
$\pi=3.14$
Substituting the values in the formula we get
$\Rightarrow 940=3.14 \times 1\times 4s+3.14\times 14^2$
$\Rightarrow 940=43.96\times s+3.14\times 196$
$\Rightarrow 940=43.96\times s+615.44$
$\Rightarrow 940-615.44=43.96\times s$
$\Rightarrow 324.56=43.96\times s$
$\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{324.56}{43.96}$
$\Rightarrow s=7.38\approx 7\ m$

$\displaystyle =\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 7\times 7+\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times 7\left( \sqrt { 149 }  \right) $

$\displaystyle s=\sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+{ r }^{ 2 } } $

$\displaystyle =\sqrt { 149+100 } $

$\displaystyle =144+22\sqrt { 149 } $

Find the slant height and vertical height of a Cone with radius $5.6$ cm and curved surface area $158.4$ cm$^2$.

  1. $8.07$

  2. $7.05$

  3. $8$

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Radius $=5.6$ cm, vertical height $= h$, slant height $=$ $l$
Curved Surface Area of cone $=\pi r l = 158.4 cm^2$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{22}{7} \times 5.6 \times l = 158.4$
$\Rightarrow l = \dfrac{158.4 \times 7}{22 \times 5.6} = \dfrac{18}{2} = 9$ cm
We know $l^2 = r^2 + h^2$
Thus $h^2 = l^2 - r^2 $

$= 9^2 - (5.6)^2$
$= 81 - 31.36$
$= 49.64$
$h = \sqrt{49.64}$
$h = 7.05 $ cm (approx.)

Explanation:

Given the radius of cylinder and cone are the same because there base areas are same.
Curved surface of cylinder $=$ curved surface area of the cone
$\therefore 2 \pi r h = \pi r l$
$\therefore l = 2h $
Given, height of cylinder $= 3$ cm
Therefore, slant height of cone $= 6$ cm

= $550 cm^2$

Consider two cones, the curved surface area of one being twice that of the other and the slant height of the later being twice that of the former. The ratio of the radius of the later cone to that of the former is

  1. $1 : 4$

  2. $1 : 2$

  3. $2 : 1$

  4. $4 : 1$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Let the curved surface areas of two cones be $C _1$ and $C _2$

And their slant heights be $l _1$ and $l _2$
Given, $C _1=2C _2$
$l _2=2l _1$

$\therefore \pi r _1l _1=2\pi r _2.2l _1$
$\therefore r _1=4r _2$

The curved surface area of a right cone is $\displaystyle 286 m^{2}$ and its the slant height is 13 m, then volume is

  1. $\displaystyle 821.389m^{3}$

  2. $\displaystyle 852.258m^{3}$

  3. $\displaystyle 364.369m^{3}$

  4. $\displaystyle 281.164m^{3}$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Curved surface area of a cone $= \pi rl$  where r is
the radius of the cone and l is the slant height.
Hence, CSA of this cone, $ = \frac {22}{7} \times r \times 13 = 286 $
$ => r = 7  m $

For a cone, l $ = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {r}^{ 2 } } $ where lis the slant height.

Hence, $ 13 = \sqrt { { h }^{ 2 }+  {7}^{ 2 } } $ 

$ 169 = { h }^{ 2 } + 49 $

$ { h }^{ 2 } = 120 $

$ h = 2 \sqrt {30}  m $

Hence, volume of this cone $ = \frac { 1 }{ 3 } \times \frac { 22 }{ 7 } \times { 7 }^{ 2 }\times 2 \sqrt {30} = \frac {154}{3} \sqrt {30} { m }^{ 3 } $


The cost of the canvas required to make a conical tent of base radius $8$ m at the rate of Rs. $40$ per $\displaystyle m^{2}$ is Rs. $10,048$. Find the height of the tent .$\displaystyle \left ( Take\  \pi =3.14 \right )$ 

  1. $6$ m

  2. $7$ m

  3. $8$ m

  4. $10$ m


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To find the amount of canvas required to make a conical tent, we need to calculate the lateral surface area of the tent.
Lateral surface area of a cone of radius $ r $, height $ h = \pi r\sqrt{{h}^{2} + {r}^{2}} $
As the total cost to make the tent is Rs $10048 $ at the rate of Rs $ 40 $ per sq m, total area LSA $ = \dfrac {10048}{40} = 251.2 $ sq m 

So, $ \pi r \times \sqrt{{h}^{2} + {r}^{2}} = 251.2 $
$ \Rightarrow  3.14 \times 8 \times \sqrt{{h}^{2} + {8}^{2}} = 251.2 $
$ \Rightarrow  \sqrt{{h}^{2} + {8}^{2}} = 10 $
$ \Rightarrow  {h}^{2} + 64 = 100 $
$ \Rightarrow  {h}^{2}  = 36 $
$ \Rightarrow  h = 6 $ m
