Question:

The height of a right circular cone is 5 cm and its base radius is 12 cm. What is the curved surface area of the cone?

Options:

$132 \pi cm^2$

$143 \pi cm^2$

$156 \pi cm^2$

$168 \pi cm^2$

Correct Answer:

$156 \pi cm^2$

Explanation:

We know that,

The curved surface area of the cone = π × r × l

l2 = r2 + h2

We have,

h = 5 cm

r = 12 cm

= l= 144 + 25 = 169

= l = 13 cm

= The curved surface area of the cone = π × 12 × 13 = 156 π cm2
