    slant height 13 cm. (a) Find its lateral surface area. (b) If its vertical height is 12 cm, find its volume.
    A 260 cm² and 400 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 264 cm² and 470 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 260 cm² and 500 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 164 cm² and 490 cm³ Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (a) Area of one triangular face = (1/2) × base × slant height = (1/2) × 10 × 13 = 65 cm² There are 4 faces: Lateral surface area = 4 × 65 = 260 cm² (b) Volume = (1/3) × (area of base) × height Base area = 10 × 10 = 100 cm² Volume = (1/3) × 100 × 12 = 400 cm³.
