Curved Surface Area of Small Cone:

𝑟=4, 𝑙 = 23.3 − 14 = 9.3
2(a) [1] Curved Surface Area: 𝑆𝐴 = 𝜋𝑟𝑙
𝑆𝐴 = 𝜋 × 4 × 9.3 = 37.2𝜋

Curved Surface Area of Big Cone:

𝑟 = 10 , 𝑙 = 23.3
[1] Correct curved surface area
𝑆𝐴 = 𝜋 × 10 × 23.3 = 233𝜋

Frustum Curved Surface Area = Big Cone – Small Cone

[1] Frustum curved surface area
𝑆𝐴 = 233𝜋 − 37.2𝜋 = 195.8𝜋

Areas of top and bottom:

[1] Area of the two circles
Top = 𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝜋 × 42 = 16𝜋
Bottom = 𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝜋 × 102 = 100𝜋

Total Surface Area

[1] All areas correctly added together
195.8𝜋 + 16𝜋 + 100𝜋 = 979.55 cm2 (±1 cm)
