A right triangle with sides 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm is revolved about the side 8 cm. Find the volume and the curved surface of the solid so formed.
Answer : Volume and Curved surface area
A right triangle with sides 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm is revolved about the side 8 cm.
So on revolving we get a right circular cone as shown in the figure.
Radius = 6 cm, Height = 8 cm, Slant Height = 10 cm
Now, we know that Volume of cone (where r is radius and h is height)
Curved surface area (where r is radius and l is slant height)
Hence Volume and curved surface area
