  2. $\displaystyle 420\pi {\  cm }^{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle 420\pi \ { m }^{ 2 }$

  4. $\displaystyle 420\pi \ m$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Surface area of cone is $A=πr(r+l)$

Here, radius is $r=12$ m and slant height is $l=23$ cm.

Thus,

$A=πr(r+l)=π\times 12(12+23)=12π\times 35=420π$ m$^2$

Hence, the surface area of the cone is $420π$ m$^2$.

  3. $\dfrac { 37\pi }{ 8 }$ $ { cm }^{ 2 }$

  4. $\dfrac { 5\pi }{ 9 }$ $ { cm }^{ 2 }$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Surface area of cone is $A=πr(r+l)$


Here, radius is $r=\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 }$ cm and slant height is $l=12$ cm.

Thus,
 
$A=πr(r+l)=π\times \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } \left( \dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } +12 \right) =\dfrac { 1 }{ 3 } π\times \dfrac { 37 }{ 3 } =\dfrac { 37π }{ 9 }$ cm$^2$
 
Hence, the surface area of the cone is $\dfrac { 37π }{ 9 }$ cm$^2$.

  3. $\displaystyle 35.168{  cm }^{ 2 }$

  4. $\displaystyle 35.168{\  m }^{ 2 }$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

First need to find the value of slant height(s) of a cone, using Pythagoras theorem, since the cross section is a right triangle.
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }={ h }^{ 2 }+{ r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }={ 3 }^{ 2 }+{ 2 }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle { s }^{ 2 }=9+4$
$\displaystyle s=\sqrt { \left( 13 \right)  } $
$\displaystyle s=3.6$ cm
Then, surface area of a cone $\displaystyle =\pi rs+\pi { r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle =3.14\times 2\times 3.6+3.14\times 2\times 2$
$\displaystyle =22.608+12.56$
$\displaystyle= 35.168{ cm }^{ 2 }$

  3. $\displaystyle 0.9734\ mm$

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

Show answer
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 $\displaystyle =\pi rs+\pi { r }^{ 2 }$
$\displaystyle =3.14\times 0.2\times 1.35+3.14\times 0.2\times 0.2$
$\displaystyle =0.8478+0.1256$
$\displaystyle =0.9734{\  mm }^{ 2 }$

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

  2. $\displaystyle 36\ in$

  3. $\displaystyle 48\ in$

  4. $\displaystyle 46{\  in }^{ 2 }$

Show answer
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$^2$.

$\displaystyle =2156+616$

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

  1. $18.12$ ft

  2. $18.10$ ft

  3. $18.24$ ft

  4. $18.31$ ft

Show answer
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
$\therefore d=2r$
$\therefore d=2 \times 9.06$
$\therefore d=18.12\ ft$
