  4. 4
    A ceramics workshop is producing a solid cone (base radius 9 cm, slant height 15 cm) and calculating its curved surface area and total surface area.
    (a)
    A cone has base radius 9 cm and slant height 15 cm. Calculate its perpendicular height using Pythagoras' theorem, then calculate its volume using V=13πr2hV=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h and π=3.142\pi=3.142, giving your final answer to the nearest whole number.
    [4 marks]
    (b)
    Calculate the curved surface area of the cone using A=πrlA=\pi rl (where ll is the slant height), and π=3.142\pi=3.142, giving your answer to the nearest whole number.
    [4 marks]
    (c)
    Calculate the total surface area of the cone (curved surface area plus the circular base), using π=3.142\pi=3.142, giving your answer to the nearest whole number.
