A conical cup is made from a circular piece of paper with radius 6 cm by cutting out a sector and joining the edges as shown below. Suppose θ = 5π/3.

Answer:
(a) 10π cm
(b) r = 5 cm
(c) h = √11 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) The surface of the opening the cup is circular in shape and a sector is cut from circle is calculate by formula,
C = r × θ
here, r = 6 cm
and θ = [tex]\frac{5\pi}{3}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]C = 6 \times \frac{5\pi}{3} = 10\pi[/tex]
(b) For finding the radius of the cup,
As the circumference of the circle is 10π
and we know that area of cone is calculate by formula, 2πr
⇒ 2πr = 10π
⇒ r = 5 cm
(c) In cone we know slant height(l) = 6 cm
Radius = 5 cm
Thus, using Pythagoras theorem,
l² = h² + r²
⇒ h² = l² - r²
⇒ h² = 36 - 25
⇒ h = √11 cm
