NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual – Right Circular Cone

NCERT Class 10 Maths Lab Manual – Right Circular Cone

Objective
To make a cone of given slant height and the circumference of circular base from circular portion experimentally.

Prerequisite Knowledge

1. Circumference of the circle.
2. Concept of sector of a circle.
3. Concept of pythagoras theorem.

Materials Required
Coloured chart papers, a pair of scissors, cello tape, geometry box.

Procedure

1. Draw and cut a circle from a coloured chart paper of radius equal to the given slant height say ‘l’ of the cone.
   
2. Mark a sector OAB such that major AB = circumference of the base of cone. i.e, if rbe the radius of cone then length of major arc AB =2πr.
3. Cut the sector AOB.
4. Fold the remaining paper by bringing the two radii OA and OB together.
   

Observation
When two radii are joined together, a cone is formed.

Result
A cone of given slant height and circumference of base can be made experimentally.

Learning Outcome
Students will learn how to make a cone of given slant height and circumference of base from the sector of a circle. They will also learn how the radius of the circle becomes the slant height of the cone and the arc length of the circle becomes the circumference of the base of the cone.

Slant height = √2 x Height of cone

Question 6.
What is the slant height of a cone ?
Answer:
It is the distance of the vertex from any point on the base (circumference of circle).

Question 7.
What is the curved surface area of a cone ?
Answer:
πrl, where r = radius of cone, l = slant height of the cone.
