Write ‘True’ or ‘False’ and justify your answer in the following:
An open metallic bucket is in the shape of a frustum of a cone, mounted on a hollow cylindrical base made of the same metallic sheet. The surface area of the metallic sheet used is equal to the curved surface area of the frustum of a cone + area of circular base + the curved surface area of cylinder
Answer True
Solution
According to the question, here is a metallic bucket in the shape of a frustum of a cone, mounted on a hollow cylindrical base made of the same metallic sheet.
The surface area of Figure (A) is the surface area of (a), (b), (c)
(a) = curved surface area of frustum
(b) = area of circular base
(c) = curved area of cylinder
Total surface area = curved surface area of a frustum of cone + area of circular base + curved surface area of the cylinder.
So the given statement is True.
