The radii of the circular ends of a bucket of height 40 cm are 24 cm and 15 cm. The slant height (in cm) of the bucket is
(a) 41 (b) 43 (c) 49 (d) 51
We know,
Radius of bigger end of frustum = R = 24 cm
Radius of smaller end of frustum = r = 15 cm
Height of frustum = h = 40cm
Slant height ,l=√(R−r)2+h2=√(24−15)2+402=√81+1600=√1681=41 cm
Slant height =41 cm
