Answer

Radius, r = diameter2=702=35 cm.\dfrac{\text{diameter}}{2} = \dfrac{70}{2} = 35 \text{ cm.}

(i) Curved surface area = πrl

4070=227×35×ll=4070×722×35l=28490770l=37 cm.\Rightarrow 4070 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 35 \times \text{l} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{l} = \dfrac{4070 \times 7}{22 \times 35} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{l} = \dfrac{28490}{770} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{l} = 37 \text{ cm.}

Hence, slant height of the cone is 37 cm.

(ii) l2 = r2 + h2

⇒ 372 = 352 + h2

⇒ h2 = 1369 - 1225

⇒ h2 = 144

⇒ h = 144\sqrt{144} = 12 cm

Hence, height of the cone is 12 cm.

(iii) Volume of cone = 13\dfrac{1}{3} πr2h

=13×227×352×12=2221×1225×12=32340021=15400 cm3= \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 35^2 \times 12 \\[1em] = \dfrac{22}{21} \times 1225 \times 12 \\[1em] = \dfrac{323400}{21} \\[1em] = 15400 \text{ cm}^3

Hence, volume of the cone is 15400 cm3.
