Find the area of the curved surface of a cone whose base radius is 3cm and whose height is 4cm (π = 3.14)
A
17.1cm2
B
27.2cm2
C
47.1cm2
D
37.3cm2
correct option: c
Find the slant height

\( l^2 = h^2 + r^2(h = 4cm,r = 3cm)\)

\( l^2 = 4^2 + 3^2 = 16 + 9 = 25 \)

\( l^2 = √ 25 \)

Squaring both sides

l = 5cm

The area of curved surface (s) =π(3)(5)

15π = 15 × 3.14

= 47.1cm2
