The circumferences of circular faces of a frustum are 132 cm and 88 cm and its height is 24 cm. Find the curved surface area of the frustum. (π = 22/7)

The circumferences of circular faces of a frustum are 132 cm and 88 cm and its height is 24 cm. To find the curved surface area of the frustum complete the following activity. (\(\pi=\tfrac{22}{7}\))

circumference\(_1=2\pi r_1=132\), \(r_1=\dfrac{132}{2\pi}=\square\); circumference\(_2=2\pi r_2=88\), \(r_2=\dfrac{88}{2\pi}=\square\); slant height \(l=\sqrt{h^2+(r_1-r_2)^2}=\sqrt{\square^2+\square^2}=\square\) cm; curved surface area \(=\pi(r_1+r_2)l=\pi\times\square\times\square=\square\) sq.cm.

Answer: Curved surface area = 2750 cm²

\(2\pi r_1=132\Rightarrow r_1=\dfrac{132\times7}{44}=21\) cm

\(2\pi r_2=88\Rightarrow r_2=\dfrac{88\times7}{44}=14\) cm

\[l=\sqrt{h^2+(r_1-r_2)^2}=\sqrt{24^2+7^2}\]

\[=\sqrt{625}=25\ \text{cm}\]

\[\text{CSA}=\pi(r_1+r_2)l=\tfrac{22}{7}\times35\times25\]

\[=2750\ \text{cm}^2\]
