Correct Answer: 360 cm 2
Solution : Given: Base = 10 cm Height = 12 cm $\therefore$ Slant height $=\sqrt{{\text{height}^2+(\frac{\text{base}}{2})^2}}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}$ = $\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169} = 13$ cm Lateral surface area = $\frac{1}{2}$ × perimeter of base × slant height = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 40 × 13 = 260 cm 2 Area of base = 10 × 10 = 100 cm 2 $\therefore$ Total surface area = lateral surface area + area of the base = 260 + 100 = 360 cm 2 Hence, the correct answer is 360 cm 2 .
