    Question

    The combined height and radius of a right circular cone

    total 31 cm, with the height exceeding the radius by 17 cm. Calculate the curved surface area of the cone.
    A 450 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 550 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 650 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 510 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 490 sq cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the radius and height of the cone be 'r' cm and 'h' cm respectively. We have, (r + h) = 31 And h = r + 17 So, r + h = r + r + 17 = 31 Or, r = (31 - 17) ├╖ 2 = 7 cm So, h = 7 + 17 = 24 cm Also, slant height of the cone =┬а тИЪ(r2 + h2) ┬а=┬а тИЪ(7 2┬а+ 24 2)┬а = 25 cm Therefore, curved surface area of the cone = ╧А X radius X slant height = (22/7) X 7 X 25 = 550 cm2
