Given,
radius and height are in the ratio of 5:12.
Let the radius and height be 5x, 12x respectively.
It is given that Volume of cone = 314 cm³.
(1/3) × πr²h = 314
(1/3) × π × (5x)² × (12x) = 314
(1/3) × 3.14 × 25x² × 12x = 314
300x³ = 300
x³ = 1
x = 1.
∴ Radius = 5 cm. and Height = 7 cm.
We know that slant height(l) = √h² + r²
Using Pythagoras Theorem,
= √12² + 5²
= √144 + 25
= √169
= 13 cm.
Now,
We know that Total surface area = πr(l + r)
= 3.14 × 5 × (13 + 5)
= 3.14 × 5 × (18)
∴ Total surface area = 282. 6 cm².
