Question 41

Mensuration of Solids

Find the total surface area of a solid cone of radius 2√3cm and slanting side 4√3cm.

  1. A.8√3πcm2
  2. B.24πcm2
  3. C.15√3πcm2
  4. D.36πcm2
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: D (36πcm2)

Explanation

Total surface area = πr² + πrl = π(12) + π(2√3)(4√3) = 12π + 24π = 36πcm².
