Given

Area of base of cone = 154 cm2

Area of curved surface = 550 cm2

Formula used

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr2h

Curved surface area of cone = πrl

where l is slant height

l = √h2 + r2

Calculation

Area of base of cone = πr2

(22/7) × r2 = 154

⇒ r2 = (154 × 7)/22

⇒ r2 = 1078/22

⇒ r2 = 49

⇒ r = 7 cm

Curved surface area of cone = πrl

550 = (22/7) × 7 × l

⇒ 550/22 = l

⇒ 25 = l

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr2h

h = √l2 - r2

⇒ h = √(25)2 - (7)2

⇒ h = √625 - 49

⇒ h = √576

⇒ h = 24

Volume of cone = (1/3) × (22/7) × 7 × 7 × 24

⇒ 22 × 7 × 8

⇒ 22 × 56

⇒ 1232 cm3

∴ Volume of cone is 1232 cm3
