Find the total surface area of a cone, if its radius and slant height are 2r and 1/2 respectively.
Question

Find the total surface area of a cone, if its radius and slant height are 2r and 1/2 respectively.

A.

π(4r2r^2​+1)

B.

(4r2r^2​+1)/2

C.

πr(4r+1)

D.

πr(2r+1)

Correct option is C

Given:

We are given that the radius r of a cone is 2r and the slant height l is 12\frac{1}{2}​ . We need to find the total surface area of the cone.

Formula Used:

The formula for the total surface area of a cone is:
Total Surface Area=πR(R+L)\text{Total Surface Area} = \pi R (R + L)​​
where R is the radius and L is the slant height.

Solution:

SubstituteR=2r and L=12 R = 2r \ and \ L = \frac{1}{2}​ into the formula:

Total Surface Area=π(2r)(2r+12)\text{Total Surface Area} = \pi (2r) \left(2r + \frac{1}{2}\right)​​

\Total Surface Area=π(2r)×(4r+12)\text{Total Surface Area} = \pi (2r) \times \left( \frac{4r +1}{2} \right)​​

​Total Surface Area = πr×(4r+1)\pi r \times \left( {4r +1}{} \right)​​
