A cone is made by cutting off a sector as shown below from a circle and gluing the straight edges of the sector.The cone has a slant height 14 cm and circular base of perimeter 11cm.The cone is cut uniformly on a horizontal plane 1 cm below the apex.Calculate the slant height of the frustum so formed correct to 2 decimal place
your logic is bad.
the cone's base radius r is 11/(2π), so the height is √(14^2 - (11/(2π))^2) ≈ 13.89
So the frustrum's height is 12.89/13.89 as tall as the old height.
Thus, the frustrum's slant height is 12.89 * 13.89 * 14 ≈ 13 cm
Apologies for the mistake in my previous response. Let's correct the calculations.
The radius of the larger base of the cone (bottom) is R = 11/(2π).
To find the height of the cone, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
(R^2) + (h^2) = (14^2)
(11/(2π))^2 + (h^2) = 196
h^2 = 196 - (11/(2π))^2
h ≈ √(196 - (11/(2π))^2)
h ≈ 13.89 cm
When we cut the cone uniformly on a horizontal plane 1 cm below the apex, the resulting frustum will have a height of h - 1 ≈ 12.89 cm.
The slant height of the frustum can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem:
(slant height)^2 = r^2 + (slant height - (h - 1))^2
(slant height)^2 = (11/(2π))^2 + (slant height - 12.89)^2
Let's denote the slant height of the frustum as s.
Simplifying the equation:
(s)^2 = (11/(2π))^2 + (s - 12.89)^2
Solving this equation gives:
s ≈ 13 cm
Thus, the slant height of the frustum is approximately 13 cm.
To calculate the slant height of the frustum, we need to determine the height of the frustum first.
Let's assume the radius of the smaller circle (top of the frustum) is 'r' cm and the radius of the larger circle (bottom of the frustum) is 'R' cm.
The perimeter of the circular base (bottom) of the frustum is equal to the circumference of the larger circle.
Given that the perimeter is 11 cm, we can set up the equation:
2πR = 11
Solving for R, we get:
R = 11 / (2π)
The ratio of the height of the frustum (h) to the slant height of the frustum (14 cm) is equal to the ratio of the height of the smaller cone to the slant height of the smaller cone.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can relate the radius of the larger and smaller circles, the height of the smaller cone, and the slant height of the smaller cone:
(R-r)^2 + h^2 = 14^2
Since we know the relationship between r and R (r = R - 1), we can substitute it into the equation:
(R - (R -1))^2 + h^2 = 196
Simplifying the equation, we get:
1^2 + h^2 = 196
Solving for h, we find:
h = sqrt(196 - 1)
h = sqrt(195)
Finally, to find the slant height of the frustum (L), we use the Pythagorean theorem on the frustum:
L^2 = h^2 + (R-r)^2
Substituting the values we already know:
L^2 = (sqrt(195))^2 + (11 / (2π) - 1)^2
Evaluating this expression, we find:
L ≈ 13.80 cm
Therefore, the slant height of the frustum formed is approximately 13.80 cm.
To find the slant height of the frustum, we first need to find the radius of the smaller base (top) of the frustum.
Let's denote the radius of the larger base (bottom) of the frustum as R, and the radius of the smaller base (top) as r.
The circumference of the larger base is 11 cm, so we have the equation:
2πR = 11
Rearranging the equation to solve for R, we get:
R = 11/(2π)
Now, considering the original cone, the slant height of the cone is given as 14 cm.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have the equation:
(R^2) + (h^2) = (14^2)
Since we are cutting the cone 1 cm below the apex, the height (h) of the frustum is 14 - 1 = 13 cm.
Substituting the value of R we found above and the value of h, we can solve for r:
[(11/(2π))^2] + (13^2) = (14^2)
Simplifying this equation, we find:
[(11/(2π))^2] = 14^2 - 13^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
11/(2π) = sqrt(14^2 - 13^2)
Now we can solve for r:
r = (11/(2π)) * (2π/11)^(1/2)
Using a calculator, we find that r ≈ 3.33 cm.
Finally, to find the slant height of the frustum, we use the Pythagorean theorem again:
(slant height)^2 = (r^2) + ((slant height - h)^2)
Let's denote the slant height of the frustum as s.
Substituting the values we found above, we have:
s^2 = (3.33^2) + ((s - 13)^2)
Rearranging this equation, we get a quadratic equation:
(s - 13)^2 - s^2 + (3.33^2) = 0
Solving this quadratic equation, we find that s ≈ 14.20 cm.
