A right triangle whose sides are 3cm and 4cm


Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 306 People


A right triangle whose sides are 3 cm and 4 cm (other than hypotenuse) is made to revolve about its hypotenuse. Find the volume and surface area of the double cone so formed. (Choose value of π as found appropriate.)

In the right angled triangle ABC (right angled at B) 


AB= 4cm and BC= 3cm 


AC= square root 3 square + 4 square  = Square root 9+16 = Square root 25 = 5cm 


Area of triangle ABC = ½ ABxBC = ½ ACxBO 


ABxBC = ACxBO 


4x3 = 5xBO 

BO= 12/5 = 2.4cm 


The volume of the required double cone = volume of the cone ABD + volume of the cone BCD 


= 1/3 pi r square h1 + 1/3 pi r square h square 


[where h1 and h2 are the heights of the cone ABD and BCD respectively] 


Surface area of double cone = surface area of cone ABD + surface area of cone BCD 


Pi r l1 + pi r l2 


Pi r (l1 + l2) 


22/7 x 2.4 x (4+3) 


22/7 x 2.4 x 7 


= 52.8 cm square 


So the volume of double cone is 30.17 cubic cm and surface area of double cone is 52.8 sq cm
