4. The height of a cone is 16 cm and its base radius is 12 cm. Find the curved
surface area and the total surface area of the cone (Use π = 3.14).
Ans. : We are given that,
Here, h = 16 cm and r = 12 cm.
So, from l2 = h2 + r2,we have

l = √16 + 12 cm = 20cm

So, curved surface area = πrl
= 3.14 × 12 × 20 cm2 = 753.6 cm2
Further, total surface area = 2
πrl + πr
= (753.6 + 3.14 × 12 × 12) cm2
= (753.6 + 452.16) cm2
= 1205.76 cm2
5. The volume of a right circular cone is 9856cm3. If the diameter of the base is
28cm, Find:
Curved surface area of the cone.
Ans. : Radius of the cone (r) = 14cm
Slant height of the cone (l) = 50cm
Curved surface area (C.S.A) = ?
Curved surface area of a cone (C.S.A) = πrl

= 3.14 × 14 × 50 = 2200cm
Therefore curved surface of the cone is 2200cm2 .
6. A right circular cone is 3.6cm high and the radius of its base is 1.6cm. It is
melted and recast into a right circular cone having base radius 1.2cm. Find its
height.
Ans. : Here, height of cone = 3.6cm and radius = 1.6cm
After melting, its radius = 1.2cm
Volume of original cone = Volume of cone after melting

10. A spherical ball of radius 3cm is melted and recast into three spherical balls.
The radii of two of these balls are 1.5cm and 2cm. Find the radius of the third
ball.
Ans. : Radius of the original spherical ball = 3cm
Suppose that the radius of third ball is r cm.
Then,
