The slant height of a frustum of a cone is 4 cm and the perimeters of its circular ends are 18 cm and 6 cm. Find the curved surface area of the frustum.
we know
Curved surface area of frustum of a cone = πl(r1 + r2)
Where, l = slant height, r1 and r2 are radii (r1 > r2)
For given frustum,
Perimeter of circular end with radius r1 = 18 cm
[As perimeter of circle = circumference of circle = 2πr]
⇒ 2πr1 = 18
![]()
Perimeter of circular end with radius r2 = 6 cm
[As perimeter of circle = circumference of circle = 2πr]
⇒ 2πr2 = 6
![]()
Slant height, l = 4 cm
Therefore,
Curved surface area ![]()
⇒ Curved Surface area = 48 cm2
