The area of the base of a right circular cone is 81π cm2 its height is 12 cm. What is curved surface area (in cm2) of the cone?

A. 126π

B. 135π

C. 108π

D. 144π

Answer: Option B

Solution (By Examveda Team)

πr2 = 81π
r = 9
Curved surface area of cone = πr$$l$$
$$l$$ = $$\sqrt {{{12}^2} + {9^2}} $$
$$l$$ = 15
Curved surface area = π × 9 × 15 = 135π
