A CTIVITY CONTD.. Steps to perform the activity (i) Take a cone made of thick red paper of slant height l and radius r (ii) Cut the curved surface of cone along any slant height by a cutter (iii) Paste the cut-out in the form of sector of a circle, of radius l on a white sheet of paper [See figure (ii) above] 5 Class X / Term II / Math
A CTIVITY CONTD.. Demonstration Let q be the central angle of circle of which sector is a part. It can be seen that circumference of base of cone forms the arc length of the sector r = l. θ/360 θ= 360.r/l Area of sector = Curved surface area of cone Area of sector = l 2. θ/360 = ( l 2 /360).( 360.r/l) = rl Curved surface area of a cone = rl. 6 Class X / Term II / Math
A CTIVITY CONTD.. Conclusion The curved surface area of a cone =p (radius of base)×(slant height of the cone) 7 Class X / Term II / Math
