Question Detail
The curved surface of a right circular cone of height 15 cm and base diameter 16 cm is:
- \begin{aligned} 116 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 122 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 124 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
- \begin{aligned} 136 \pi cm^2 \end{aligned}
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
\text{Curved surface area of cone=}\pi rl\\
l = \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \\
l = \sqrt{8^2+15^2} = 17cm \\
\text{Curved surface area =}\pi rl\\
= \pi *8*17 = 136 \pi cm^2
\end{aligned}
