Given:

Cone diameter = 14 cm, Height = 24 cm

Cube of side = 14 cm

Formula used:

Curved surface area of cone = π × Radius × Slant height 

Surface area of cube = 6 × side2 

Slant height = √(height2 + radius2)

Area of circle = π × radius2

Calculation:

F1 Vinanti SSC 05.09.22 D1

Slant height = √(height2 + radius2) = √(242 + 72) = 25

Curved surface area of cone = π × Radius × Slant height = (22/7) × 7 × 25 = 550 cm2

Surface area of cube = 6 × side2 = 6 × (14)2 = 1176 cm2

But some area covered by cone's base = π × radius2

⇒ (22/7) × 72 = 154 cm2

⇒ Total surface area = 550 + 1176 - 154 = 1,572 cm2
