How to Find Surface Area, Volume and Slant Height of Cone ?

The surface area of a cone is the area occupied by the boundary of a cone. It is measured in square units. The surface area of a cone is given by the sum of the area of all the curved surfaces and circular bases. The area of the curved surface is equal to π r l(where l is equal to √ (h2 + r2) and the area of the circular base is π r2. 

The formula to calculate the surface area of a cone is given by 

Surface area of the cone = π r(r +(√ (h2 + r2) )

Where 'r' is the radius of the cone, 'h' is the height of the cone

The volume of a cone is defined as the amount of space or capacity that a cone occupies. The formula for calculating the volume of a cone is given as one-third of the product of the area of the circular base and the height of the cone. This can be written as:

The volume of the cone = (1/3) πr2h

The slant height of the cone: From the figure, 'r' is the radius of the cone, 'h' is the height of the cone, and 'l' is the slant height of the cone. Using Pythagoras theorem,

Slant height 'l' = √(r2 + h2)

Solved Examples on Cone Calculator

 

  1. Example1:

    Find the surface area of a cone with height h = 10 units and radius r = 20 units

    Solution:

    Given: Height = 10 units and radius = 20 units

    Surface area of the right cone = π r(r +(√ (h2 + r2) )

    = π × 20 (20 + √(102 + 202))

    = 2660.25 square units

  2. Example2:

    Find the volume of a cone whose height = 3 units and radius = 7 units.

    Solution:

    When the height and radius are given, we can use the formula to calculate the volume of a cone.

    Volume = (1/3)πr²h

    =(1/3)π × 7² × 3

    =153.86 cubic units

  3. Example3:

    Find the slant height of a cone if the radius of the cone is 6 units and the height of the cone is 8 units?

    Solution:

    slant height 'l' = √(r2 + h2)

    = √(62 + 82)

    =  √36 + 64

    = √100 units

    = 10 units
