A frustum of a right circular cone has a diameter of base $ 20 \mathrm{~cm} $, of top $ 12 \mathrm{~cm} $, and height $ 3 \mathrm{~cm} $. Find the area of its whole surface and volume.
Given:
A frustum of a right circular cone has a diameter of base \( 20 \mathrm{~cm} \), of top \( 12 \mathrm{~cm} \), and height \( 3 \mathrm{~cm} \).
To do:
We have to find the area of its whole surface and volume.
Solution:
Base diameter of the frustum $= 20\ cm$
This implies,
Radius of the frustum $r_1 =\frac{20}{2}$
$= 10\ cm$
Diameter of the top $= 12\ cm$
Radius of the top $r_{2}=\frac{12}{2}$
$=6 \mathrm{~cm}$
Height of the cone $h=3 \mathrm{~cm}$
Therefore,
Slant height $l=\sqrt{h^{2}+(r_{1}-r_{2})^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(10-6)^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{(3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{9+16}$
$=\sqrt{25}$
$=5 \mathrm{~cm}$
Total surface area of the frustum $=\pi(r_{1}+r_{2}) l+\pi r_{1}^{2}+\pi r_{2}^{2}$
$=\pi(10+6) \times 5+\pi(10)^{2}+\pi(6)^{2}$
$=80 \pi+100 \pi+36 \pi$
$=216 \pi$
$=216 \times \frac{22}{7}$
$=678.85 \mathrm{~cm}^{2}$
Volume of the frustum $=\frac{\pi}{3}(r_{1}^{2}+r_{1} r_{2}+r_{2}^{2}) h$
$=\frac{22}{3 \times 7}[(10)^{2}+10 \times 6+(6)^{2}] 3$
$=\frac{22}{21}[100+60+36] \times 3$
$=\frac{22}{21} \times 196 \times 3$
$=616 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$
The area of its whole surface and volume are $678.85\ cm^2$ and $616\ cm^3$ respectively.
