Q2 of 52 Page 148

The radii of ends of a frustum are 14 cm and 6 cm respectively and its height is 6 cm. Find its

i) Curved surface area


ii) Total surface area


iii) Volume

(i) The two radii of frustum are, r1 = 14cm and r2= 6cm


Height of frustum, H = 6cm


Slant height of frustum,




l = 10


As we know that,


Curved surface area, AC = πl(r1 + r2)


AC = (3.14) × 10 × (14 + 6)


AC = (3.14) × 200


AC = 628 sq. cm


the curved surface area of frustum is 628 sq. cm


(ii) Total surface area, AT = Curved surface area + area of the two circular regions


AT = AC + πr12 + πr22


On substituting the above values, we get,


AT = 628 + (3.14) × (142 + 62)


AT = 628 + (3.14)× (196 + 36)


AT = 628 + 728.48


AT = 1356.48 sq. cm


the total surface area of frustum is 1356.48 cm2


(iii) As we know,



On substituting the values, we get,





V = 1984.48 cm3


Volume of the frustum is 1984.48 cm3
