ACTIVITY CONTD..Steps to perform the activity (i) Take a cone made of thick red paper of
slant height l and radius r(ii) Cut the curved surface of cone along any slant height by a cutter(iii) Paste the cut-out in the form of sector of a circle, of radius l on a white sheet of paper[See figure (ii) above]

ACTIVITY CONTD..Demonstration Let q be the central angle of circle of which
sector is a part. It can be seen that circumference of base of cone forms the arc length of the sector\ 2pr = 2pl . θ/360 θ= 360 .r/l
Area of sector = Curved surface area of cone Area of sector = pl2 . θ/360 = (pl2/360).(360 .r/l) = prl
Curved surface area of a cone =prl.
