Find the total surface area of solid cone of radius 2(sqrt{3})cm and slanting side 4(sqrt{3})

Find the total surface area of solid cone of radius 2(sqrt{3})cm and slanting side 4(sqrt{3})
  • A.
    8(sqrt{3}pi )cm2
  • B.
    24(pi )cm2
  • C.
    15(sqrt{3}pi )cm2
  • D.
    36(pi )cm2
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

Total surface area of a solid cone
r = 2(sqrt{3})
= (pi r^2) + (pi)rH
H = 4(sqrt{3}), (pi)r(r + H)
∴ Area = (pi)2(sqrt{3}) [2(sqrt{3}) + 4(sqrt{3})]
= (pi)2(sqrt{3})(6(sqrt{3}))
= 12(pi) x 3
= 36(pi )cm2
