The area of a sector a circle with diameter 12cm is 66cm2. If the sector is folded to form a cone, calculate the radius of the base of the cone [Take (\pi = \frac{22}{7})]

A
3.0cm
B
3.5cm
C
7.0cm
D
7.5cm
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: B

diameter = 12cm

radius = (\frac{12}{2})cm = 6cm

area of sector = 66cm2

area of sector = area of cone

66 = (\pi rl)

66 = (\frac{22}{7} \times r \times 6)

divide both sides by 6

11 = (\frac{22}{7}r)

22r = 11 x 7

r = (\frac{77}{22})

= 3.5cm
