Example 2:
A right triangle, whose perpendicular sides are 30 cm and 40 cm, is made to revolve about its hypotenuse. Find the surface area of the double cone so obtained.
can any 1 explain me with video..so it will be more clear..
Let ABD be the right-angled triangle such that AB = 30 cm and AD = 40 cm
Using Pythagoras theorem, we obtain
BD2 = AB2 + AD2
BD2 =
BD = 50 cm
Let OB = x and OA = y
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔAOB, we obtain
OA2 + OB2 = AB2
x2 + y2 = 302
y2 = 900 − x2 … (1)
Applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔAOD, we obtain
OA2 + OD2 = AD2
y2 + (50 − x) 2 = 402
900 − x2 + 2500 + x2 − 100x = 1600 {From equation (1), we have y2 = 900 − x2}
100x = 1800
x = 18
On putting this value in equation (1), we obtain
y2 = 900 − x2 = 900 − 182 = 900 − 324 = 576
y = 24 cm
Here, y is the radius of both the cones.
Now, surface area of the solid = C.S.A. of cone ABC + C.S.A. of cone ADC
= π × 24 × 30 + π × 24 × 40
= 1680 π
= 1680 ×
= 5280 cm2
Thus, the surface area of the double cone so obtained is 5280 cm2.
