Derive the formula for the curved surface area and total surface area of the frustum of a cone.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `ABC` be a cone. A frustum `DECB` is cut by a plane parallel to its base.
Let `r_1` and `r_2` be the radii of the ends of the frustum of the cone and h be the height of the frustum of the cone.
In `/_ABG` and `/_ADF`, `DF∥BG`
Therefore, `/_ABG∼/_ADF`
`(DF)/(BG)=(AF)/(AG)=(AD)/(AB)`
