An open cone with base radius 28cm and perpendicular height 96cm was stretched to form sector of a circle. calculate the arc of the sector (Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\))
8800cm2
8448cm2
4400cm2
4224cm2

Explanation

L2 = 962 + 282

= 9216 + 784

= 10000

L = \(\sqrt{10000}\)

= 100cm

curved surface area = \(\pi r l\)

= \(\frac{22}{7} \times 28 \times 100\)

= 8800cm2

area of cone = area of sector

area of sector = 8800cm2
