The triangle is rotated about the side 8cm.
So the height of the resulting cone, h = 8 cm
Radius, r = 6 cm
Slant height, l = 10 cm
Volume of the cone, V = (1/3)r2h
V = (1/3)×3.14×62×8
V = (1/3)×3.14×36×8
V = 3.14×12×8
V = 301.44 cm3
Hence the volume of the cone is 301.44 cm3.
Curved surface area of the cone = rl
= 3.14×6×10
= 188.4
Hence the curved surface area of the cone is 188.4 cm2.
