Exercise 13.3 Page No: 221
1. Diameter of the base of a cone is 10.5 cm, and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its curved surface area. (Assume
π=22/7)
Solution:
Radius of the base of cone = diameter/ 2 = (10.5/2)cm = 5.25cm
The slant height of the cone, say l = 10 cm
CSA of the cone is = πrl
= (22/7)×5.25×10 = 165 cm2
Therefore, the curved surface area of the cone is 165 cm2.
2. Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21 m and the diameter of its base is 24 m. (Assume π
= 22/7)
Solution:
Radius of cone, r = 24/2 m = 12m
Slant height, l = 21 m
Formula: Total Surface area of the cone = πr(l+r)
Total Surface area of the cone = (22/7)×12×(21+12) m2
= 1244.57m2
3. Curved surface area of a cone is 308 cm2, and its slant height is 14 cm. Find

(Assume π = 22/7)
Solution:
The slant height of the cone, l = 14 cm
Let the radius of the cone be r.
(i) We know the CSA of cone = πrl
Given: Curved surface area of a cone is 308 cm2
(308 ) = (22/7)×r×14
308 = 44 r
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 –
Surface Areas and Volume
r = 308/44 = 7 cm
The radius of a cone base is 7 cm.
(ii) Total surface area of cone = CSA of cone + Area of base (πr2)
Total surface area of cone = 308+(22/7)×72 = 308+154 = 462 cm2
Therefore, the total surface area of the cone is 462 cm2.
4. A conical tent is 10 m high, and the radius of its base is 24 m. Find
(i) slant height of the tent.
(ii) cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if the cost of 1 m2 canvas is Rs 70.
(Assume π=22/7)
Solution:
Let ABC be a conical tent.
Height of conical tent, h = 10 m
Radius of conical tent, r = 24m
Let the slant height of the tent be l.
(i) In the right triangle ABO, we have
AB2 = AO2+BO2(using Pythagoras’ theorem)
l2 = h2+r2
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 –
Surface Areas and Volume
= (10)2+(24)2
= 676
l = 26 m
Therefore, the slant height of the tent is 26 m.
(ii) CSA of tent = πrl
= (22/7)×24×26 m2
Cost of 1 m2 canvas = Rs 70
Cost of (13728/7)m2 canvas is equal to Rs (13728/7)×70 = Rs 137280
Therefore, the cost of the canvas required to make such a tent is Rs 137280.
5. What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make a conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6m?
Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is
approximately 20 cm. [Use π=3.14]
Solution:
Height of the conical tent, h = 8m
Radius of the base of the tent, r = 6m
Slant height of the tent, l2 = (r2+h2)
l2 = (62+82) = (36+64) = (100)
or l = 10 m
Again, CSA of conical tent = πrl
= (3.14×6×10) m2
= 188.4m2
Let the length of the tarpaulin sheet required be L.
As 20 cm will be wasted,
The effective length will be (L-0.2m).
The breadth of tarpaulin = 3m (given)
Area of sheet = CSA of the tent
[(L–0.2)×3] = 188.4
L-0.2 = 62.8
NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 –
Surface Areas and Volume
L = 63 m
Therefore, the length of the required tarpaulin sheet will be 63 m.
6. The slant height and base diameter of the conical tomb are 25m and 14 m, respectively. Find the cost of
whitewashing its curved surface at the rate of Rs. 210 per 100 m2. (Assume π = 22/7)
Solution:
Slant height of the conical tomb, l = 25m
Base radius, r = diameter/2 = 14/2 m = 7m
CSA of the conical tomb = πrl
= (22/7)×7×25 = 550
CSA of the conical tomb= 550m2
Cost of whitewashing 550 m2 area, which is Rs (210×550)/100
= Rs. 1155
Therefore, the cost will be Rs. 1155 while whitewashing the tomb.
7. A joker’s cap is in the form of a right circular cone of base radius 7 cm and height 24cm. Find the area of the
sheet required to make 10 such caps. (Assume π =22/7)
Solution:
Radius of the conical cap, r = 7 cm
Height of the conical cap, h = 24cm
Slant height, l2 = (r2+h2)
= (72+242)
= (49+576)
= (625)
Or l = 25 cm
CSA of 1 conical cap = πrl
= (22/7)×7×25
= 550 cm2
CSA of 10 caps = (10×550) cm2 = 5500 cm2
Therefore, the area of the sheet required to make 10 such caps is 5500 cm2.

8. A bus stop is barricaded from the remaining part of the road by using 50 hollow cones made of recycled
cardboard. Each cone has a base diameter of 40 cm and height 1 m. If the outer side of each of the cones is to be
painted and the cost of painting is Rs. 12 per m2, what will be the cost of painting all these cones? (Use π = 3.14
and take √(1.04) =1.02)
Solution:
Given:
Radius of cone, r = diameter/2 = 40/2 cm = 20cm = 0.2 m
Height of cone, h = 1m
Slant height of cone is l, and l2 = (r2+h2)
Using given values, l2 = (0.22+12)
= (1.04)
Or l = 1.02 m
Slant height of the cone is 1.02 m.
Now,
CSA of each cone = πrl
= (3.14×0.2×1.02)
= 0.64056 m
CSA of 50 such cones = (50×0.64056) = 32.028
CSA of 50 such cones = 32.028 m2
Again,
Cost of painting 1 m2 area = Rs 12 (given)
Cost of painting 32.028 m2 area = Rs (32.028×12)
= Rs.384.336
= Rs.384.34 (approximately)
Therefore, the cost of painting all these cones is Rs. 384.34.

(ii) Radius (r) of sphere = 21/2 = 10.5 cm
Surface area of a sphere = 4πr2
= 4×(22/7)×10.52 = 1386
Surface area of a sphere is 1386 cm2
Therefore, the surface area of a sphere having a diameter 21 cm is 1386 cm2
(iii) Radius(r) of a sphere = 3.5/2 = 1.75 cm

4. The radius of a spherical balloon increases from 7cm to 14cm as air is being pumped into it. Find the ratio of
surface areas of the balloon in the two cases.
Solution:
Let r1 and r2 be the radii of the spherical balloon and spherical balloon when air is pumped into it, respectively. So,
r1 = 7cm
r2 = 14 cm
Now, Required ratio = (initial surface area)/(Surface area after pumping air into balloon)
= 4πr12/4πr22
= (r1/r2)2
= (7/14)2 = (1/2)2 = ¼
Therefore, the ratio between the surface areas is 1:4.
5. A hemispherical bowl made of brass has an inner diameter 10.5cm. Find the cost of tin-plating it on the inside

NCERT Solutions for Class 9 Maths Chapter 13 –
Surface Areas and Volume
Solution:
Inner radius of hemispherical bowl, say r = diameter/2 = (10.5)/2 cm = 5.25 cm
Formula for the surface area of hemispherical bowl = 2πr2
= 2×(22/7)×(5.25)2 = 173.25
Surface area of the hemispherical bowl is 173.25 cm2
Cost of tin-plating 100 cm2 area = Rs 16
Cost of tin-plating 1 cm2 area = Rs 16 /100
Cost of tin-plating 173.25 cm2 area = Rs. (16×173.25)/100 = Rs 27.72
Therefore, the cost of tin-plating the inner side of the hemispherical bowl at the rate of Rs 16 per 100 cm2 is Rs 27.72.

So, 1/3 π r2(9) = 48 π
r2 = 16
r=4
Radius of the cone is 4 cm.
So, diameter = 2×Radius = 8
Thus, diameter of the base is 8cm.
