Hint
Use the stated units and precision. Use the right triangle between radius, perpendicular height and slant height.
Worked solution
(a)
Use the right triangle between radius, perpendicular height and slant height.
Pythagoras gives \(\displaystyle \sqrt{r^{2}+h^{2}}=10 \mathrm{cm}\).
Answer: \(10\)
(b)
Use perpendicular height in the cone volume formula.
The coefficient \(\displaystyle \frac{r^{2}h}{3}\) is \(96\).
Answer: \(96\)
(c)
Include both the slant-height curved surface and circular base.
Curved area plus base gives coefficient rl+\(\displaystyle r^{2}\)=96.
Answer: \(96\)
