The area of the base of a cone is 616 sq. cm. Its height is 48 cm. Find its total surface area.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
We know the base of a cone is circular
Then, area of circle = πr2 = 616
$⇒r^2=\frac{616×7}{22}=196$ ⇒ r = 14 cm
Also, total surface area of a cone = πr(r + l)
Where ‘r’ is the radius of cone and ‘l’ is the slant height
For a cone slant height = $l=\sqrt{r^2+h^2}$
$l=\sqrt{48^2+14^2}=\sqrt{2500}=50$
∴ Total surface area = $\frac{22}{7}×14×(14+50)=2816cm^2$
