Correct Answer: 75.4 cm 2


Solution : The total surface area of a right circular cone of radius $r$ and slant height $l$ is $\pi r (r + l)$.
Given: $r = 3 \, \text{cm}$ and $h = 4 \, \text{cm}$.
$⇒l = \sqrt{r^2 + h^2}$
$⇒l = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = 5 \, \text{cm}$
The total surface area of a right circular cone $= \pi r (r + l)$
where \(r\) is the radius of the base of the cone and \(l\) is the slant height of the cone.
The total surface area of a right circular cone $= \frac{22}{7}\times 3 \, \text{cm} \times (3 \, \text{cm} + 5 \, \text{cm}) $
The total surface area of a right circular cone $= 75.4 \, \text{cm}^2$
Hence, the correct answer is 75.4 cm 2 .
