1.

Prove that for a cone made by rolling up a semicircle, the area of the curved surface is twice the base area.

Answer»

Perimeter of base of a cone is equal to half of perimeter of large cone.

Radius of pyramid = R/2

Perimeter of base

\(=\pi(\frac{R}{2})^2=\pi\frac{R^2}{4}\)

\(=\frac{1}{2}\pi \,R^2=\frac{\pi\,R^2}{2}=2\times\frac{\pi\,R^2}{4}\)

= 2 × Base area , that is twice
