WAEC - Mathematics (2021 - No. 37)

A cone has a base radius of 8cm and height 11cm. calculate , correct to 2d.p, the curved surface area
341.98cm\(^2\)
276.57cm\(^2\)
201.14cm\(^2\)
477.71cm\(^2\)

Explanation

Where l\(^2\) = h\(^2\) + r\(^2\)

l\(^2\) = 11\(^2\) + 8\(^2\)

l = √185

l = 13.60cm

The formula of CSA of Cone is πrl

\(\frac{22}{7}\) * 8 * 13.60

= 341.979 or 341.98 (2d.p)
