CONE

 A cone is a three-dimensional(3D) geometric shape


 A cone is formed by a set of line segments, half-
lines, or lines connecting a common point
 A cone is a three-dimensional figure with one
circular base. A curved surface connects the base
and the vertex.
 The axis of a cone is the straight line .
Surface area Volume of Cone
Surface area =πr2 + πrl,
πr(r+h2+r2)

Volume=1πr2h

• The surface area of a cone is equal to the curved surface


area plus the area of the base
• The Volume V of a cone with radius r is one-third the area
of the base B times the height h .
AREA
A = SA = πr2 + πrl,
• A is the Area
• SA =Surface Area
• l is the slant height
• r is the radius
• π is (Pi)

Area of a cone is:


 You can now use the measurement of the side to
find the area of the cone.
EXAMPLE
Example 1: A cone has a radius of 3cm and height of 5cm, find total surface area of the cone.
Solution:
To begin with we need to find slant height of the cone, which is determined by using Pythagoras, since
the cross section is a right triangle.

l2 = h2 + r2
l2 = 52 + 32
l2 = 25 + 9
l = √(34)
l = 5.83 cm

And the total surface area of the cone is:


SA = πr2 + πrl
SA = π · r · (r + l)
SA = π · 3 · (3 + 5.83)
SA = 83.17 cm2

Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is 83.17cm2


EXAMPLE 2:

Example 2: The total surface area of a cone is 375 square inches. If its slant height is four times
the radius, then what is the base diameter of the cone? Use π = 3.
Solution:
The total surface area of a cone = πrl + πr2 = 375 inch2
Slant height: l = 4 × radius = 4r

Substitute l = 4r and π = 3
3 × r × 4 r + 3 × r2 = 375
12r2 + 3r2 = 375
15r2 = 375
r2 = 25
r = 25
r=5

So the base radius of the cone is 5 inch.


And the base diameter of the cone = 2 × radius = 2 × 5 = 10 inch.
