Question:

The curved surface area of a right circular cone of height 12 cm and base diameter 10 cm is:

Options:

$65 π\, cm^2$

$75 π\, cm^2$

$130 π\, сm^2$

$100 π\, cm^2$

Correct Answer:

$65 π\, cm^2$

Explanation:

 Cone height, H = 12 cm 

Base Dia D = 10 cm

r = 5 cm

Slant Height, L = sqrt(122 + 52) = sqrt (169) = 13

Curved surface area = πrL = π*5*13 = 65π

The correct answer is Option (1) → $65 π\, cm^2$
