    This document provides instructions for an activity to calculate the lateral surface area and total surface area of a right circular cone experimentally. Students are instructed to make a cone model and cut and rearrange it to form a parallelogram. By measuring the parallelogram, students can determine that the lateral surface area is πrl. Adding this to the area of the circular base, πr2, gives the total surface area formula of πr(l+r). The activity reinforces geometric concepts and allows students to derive formulas through physical manipulation of a cone model.

    ACTIVITY – 8

    Page No : 1

    Date :
    Objective
    To find the formula for the lateral surface area and total
    surface area of a right circular cone experimentally.

    Prerequisite Knowledge
    Concept of circumference, sector, formula to find the
    circumference of a circle.

    Materials Required
    A cone made of chart paper, a pair of scissors, geometry box,
    fevicol, cello tape.

    Fig. (i) Procedure


    1. Make a cone of pink chart paper having base radius r,
    slant height ‘l’ and height h.

    2. Cut the cone along slant height as shown in fig (i) as


    per dotted line and unroll it to get a sector, as shown in
    fig. (ii). Name this sector OAB.

    Fig. (ii) 3. Identify the arc length AB of the sector OAB =


    circumference of the base of the cone. radius of the
    sector OAB = slant height of the cone. As shown in
    the fig. (ii).

    Fig. (iii) 4. Cut the sector OAB into 4 small equal sectors, along
    dotted lines as shown in fig. (ii) and fill red colour in
    two sectors as shown.

    5. Arrange these small sectors to get a parallelogram as


    shown in fig. (iii).
    Observation
    1
    1. Base of parallelogram =  length of sector OAB =
    2
    1
     2r  r
    2

    2. Altitude of parallelogram = slant height of cone = l

    3. Area of parallelogram = πr × l = Curved surface area


    of cone.

    4. Total surface area of cone = πrl + area of circular base


    of cone.
    = πrl + πr2
    = πr (l + r)

    Learning Outcome
    Students will learn the concept to differentiate between the
    curved surface area and total surface area of a cone.
