Question 29
The radii of circular ends of a bucket of height 24 cm are 15 cm and 5 cm. Find the area of its curved surface.
Here, the bucket is in the shape of a frustum
Where
h = height = 16 cm
r1 = radius of upper end = 20 cm
r2 = radius of lower end = 8 cm
We need to find its Curved Surface Area
Curved Surface Area of frustum = 𝜋(𝑟1+𝑟2)𝑙
We need to find l
We know that
𝑙 = √(ℎ2+(𝑟1−𝑟2)2)
𝑙 = √(242+(15−5)2)
𝑙 = √(242+102)
𝑙 = √(576+100)
𝑙 = √676
𝑙 = √(〖26〗^2 )
𝑙 = 26 cm
Now,
Curved surface area of frustum
= 𝜋(𝑟1+𝑟2)𝑙
= 𝜋(15+5)×26
= 22/7×20×26
= (440 × 26)/7
= 11440/7
= 1634.28 cm2
∴ Curved surface area of frustum = 1634.28 cm2
