Question:

The height and radius of the right circular cone is 4 cm and 3 cm respectively. What is the total surface area of the cone?

Options:

12π cm2

24π cm2

7π cm2

16π cm2

Correct Answer:

24π cm2

Explanation:

We know that,

l2 = r2 + h2

The total surface area of the cone  = πr(l + r)

We have,

Height = 4 cm

Radius = 3 cm

l2 = 42 + 32

l = \(\sqrt {16 + 9}\) = 5 cm

Now, The total surface area of the cone = π × 3 × (5 + 3) = 24π cm2
