Question 14 Marks
The radii of the circular ends of a frustum of a cone are 14 cm and 8 cm. If the height of the frustum is 8 cm, find : ($\pi=3.14$)
(i) Curved surface area of frustum.
(ii) Total surface area of frustum.
(iii) Volume of the frustum.
Answer
$R=14, r=8, h=8$.
Slant height $l = \sqrt{h^{2} + (R-r)^{2}} = \sqrt{8^{2} + 6^{2}} = 10$ cm.
(i) CSA = $\pi(R+r)l = 3.14(14+8)10 = 3.14 \times 220 = 690.8$ sq.cm.
(ii) TSA = CSA + $\pi R^{2} + \pi r^{2} = 690.8 + 3.14(196 + 64) = 690.8 + 816.4 = 1507.2$ sq.cm.
(iii) Volume = $\frac{1}{3}\pi h(R^{2} + r^{2} + Rr) = \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 8 \times (196 + 64 + 112) = \frac{1}{3} \times 25.12 \times 372 = 3114.88$ cm$^{3}$.
