A hollow (open) right circular cone has base radius R and vertical height H. What is its curved (lateral) surface area?

  1. pi*R*sqrt(R² + H²)
  2. pi*R²*sqrt(R² + H²)
  3. 2*pi*R*sqrt(R² + H²)
  4. pi*R*(R + H)

Correct answer: pi*R*sqrt(R² + H²)

Solution

The slant height is l = sqrt(R² + H²), and the curved surface area of a cone is pi*R*l, giving pi*R*sqrt(R² + H²).
