Here you will learn formula for the curved surface area and total surface area of cone and its derivation with examples.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin –<\/p>\n

What is Cone ?<\/h2>\n

A cone is a solid which has a circle at its base and a slanting lateral surface that converges at the apex. Its dimensions are defined by the radius of the base (r), the height (h) and the slant height (l) <\/p>\n

Formula for Surface Area of Cone<\/h2>\n

(i) Curved Surface Area (CSA)<\/h3>\n
\n

curved surface area of cone = \\(\\pi rl\\)<\/p>\n

where l is the slant height.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

(ii) Total Surface Area (TSA)<\/h3>\n
\n

Total surface area of cone =  CSA + \\(\\pi r^2\\) = \\(\\pi rl\\) + \\(\\pi r^2\\)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Note :<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\\(l^2\\) = \\(r^2\\) + \\(h^2\\)<\/span>. Here <\/span>h <\/span>is the <\/span>height <\/span>of the cone.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the relation between slant height and height of cone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Derivation of the Surface Area of Cone<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Take a paper cone and cut one piece of triangle from it along its slant height. It looks like the second picture.\"cone\"<\/p>\n

Now, If you further cut the into little pieces along the lines drawn from the point O, each cut portion is almost a small triangle, whose height is the slant height \\(l\\)<\/span> <\/span>of the cone.<\/span> <\/p>\n

Now the area of each triangle = \\(1\\over 2\\) \\(\\times\\) area of triangle \\(\\times\\) \\(l\\)<\/span><\/p>\n

So, area of the entire cone = sum of the areas of all the triangles<\/span> <\/p>\n

= \\(1\\over 2\\) \\(\\times\\) (length of entire curved boundary) \\(\\times\\) \\(l\\)<\/span><\/p>\n

But length of entire curved boundary makes up the perimeter of the base of the cone and the circumference of the base of the cone = 2<\/span>\u03c0<\/span>r<\/span>, where <\/span>r <\/span>is the base radius of the cone.<\/span> <\/p>\n

So, Curved surface area<\/strong> = \\(1\\over 2\\) \\(\\times\\) \\(2\\pi r\\) \\(\\times\\) \\(l\\) = \\(\\pi rl\\)<\/span><\/p>\n

Now if the base of the cone is to be closed, then a circular piece of paper of radius <\/span>r <\/span>is also required whose area is \\(\\pi r^2\\)<\/span><\/p>\n

So, Total surface area<\/strong> =  \\(\\pi rl\\) + \\(\\pi r^2\\) = \\(\\pi r(l + r)\\)<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong><\/span> : The height of a cone is 16 cm and its base radius is 12 cm. Find the curved surface area and the total surface area of the cone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solution<\/span><\/strong> : Here, <\/span>h <\/span>= 16 cm and <\/span>r <\/span>= 12 cm<\/span> <\/p>\n

So, \\(l^2\\) = \\(r^2\\) + \\(h^2\\) \\(\\implies\\) \\(l^2\\) = 144 + 256 = 400<\/span><\/p>\n

\\(\\implies\\) \\(l\\) = 20<\/p>\n

So, Curved Surface area = \\(\\pi rl\\) = 3.14 \\(\\times\\) 12 \\(\\times\\) 20 <\/p>\n

 CSA = 753.6 \\(cm^2\\)<\/p>\n

Total surface area = CSA + \\(\\pi r^2\\) = 753.6 + 3.14 \\(\\times\\) 12 \\(\\times\\) 12<\/p>\n

TSA = 753.6 + 412.6 = 1205.76 \\(cm^2\\)<\/p>\n\n\n
