Answer 854 cm2

Solution

            According to question

           

           

 

 

 

 

Here are two cones joined together along their bases

 Height of both cones = 15 cm

 The base radius of both cones = 8 cm

 Surface area of combination = 2(surface area of one cone)

                            (Q both cones are same)

=2(\pi r l)

=2\pi r \sqrt{r^2+h^2}             \left (Q1= \sqrt{r^2+h^2} \right )

 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 8 \times \sqrt{64+225}

 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 8 \times 17

=854cm^2

 Hence the surface area of the combination is 854 cm2
