The lampshade is a frustum of a cone with:
Top radius () = 7 cm
Bottom radius () = 14 cm
Slant height of the frustum () = 20 cm
Let be the slant height of the original (larger) cone and be the slant height of the smaller cone that was cut off.
Let be the height of the original cone and be the height of the smaller cone.
Let be the height of the lampshade (frustum).
Part a· 4 steps
The slant height of the original cone correct to two decimal places.
Use similar triangles formed by the radii and slant heights.
For the original cone and the smaller cone, we have:
Use the given slant height of the frustum.
The slant height of the frustum is the difference between the slant height of the original cone and the smaller cone:
Substitute into the equation.
Calculate .
The slant height of the original cone is 40.00 cm.
Part b
The height h, of the lampshade.
Consider a right-angled triangle formed by the height of the frustum (), the difference in radii (), and the slant height of the frustum ().
The difference in radii is cm.
The slant height of the frustum is 20 cm.Apply the Pythagorean theorem.
Calculate the numerical value.
Rounding to two decimal places:
The height of the lampshade is .
Part c
The curved surface area of the lampshade.
Use the formula for the curved surface area (CSA) of a frustum.
Where cm, cm, and cm.
Substitute the values.
Calculate the numerical value.
Rounding to two decimal places:
The curved surface area of the lampshade is .
Part d
The volume of the lampshade correct to 4 significant figures.
Calculate the height of the original cone () and the smaller cone ().
From part (a), cm and cm.
For the original cone:For the smaller cone:
Note that .
Use the formula for the volume of a frustum, which is the volume of the original cone minus the volume of the smaller cone.
Substitute the values.
Calculate the numerical value.
Round to 4 significant figures.
The first four significant figures are 6, 7, 2, 9. The fifth digit is 5, so we round up the fourth digit.
The volume of the lampshade is .
