Cone
Cone is an interesting geometric figure to understand and work upon. You come across so many items in daily life that are conical in shape – like a picnic tent, an ice cream cone, a birthday cap and there are many more that you can think about.
In this chapter we will work on only right circular cones. To understand what a right circular cone is, watch the following video.
Lateral or curved surface area of cone = πrl
r = base radius, l = slant height
Total surface area of cylinder = πrl + πr² = πr (l + r)
r = base radius, l = slant height
To understand the above mentioned formulas, watch the following video. It is highly recommended to watch it before you attempt any cone related questions.
What is Area / Surface area / Volume
It is recommended to understand the core concept of area, surface area and volume before we attempt any question based on these concepts.
