guys need your help!! 0500/04/sp/2014 Question 4a)(i)
I always have a problem solving these kind of questions!! Kindly tell me the method to solve these questions!!

The diagram shows a plastic cup in the shape of a cone with the end removed.
The vertical height of the cone in the diagram is 20 cm.
The height of the cup is 8 cm.
The base of the cup has radius 2.7 cm. (a) (i) Show that the radius, r, of the circular top of the cup is 4.5 cm.

The 2 triangles are similar. I'll give you a hint; find the scale factor (LSF) of both triangles. The radius of the circular top will be the LSF * 2.7.

Why should we find curved surface area of both the cones and then subtract for question 4b)(ii) 0580/04/SP/15

(ii) Calculate the curved surface area of the outside of the cup.
[The curved surface area, A, of a cone with radius r and slant height l is A = πrl.]

How to find?? I didn't get you!!
Okay.
If you look at the figure, you will see 2 triangles (the inner triangle and the outer triangle). The outer triangle is an enlargement of the inner triangle. The outer triangle's height is 20 cm, while the inner triangle's height is 20 - 8 = 12 cm. The scale factor is then 20/12 = 5/3. This means that outer triangle's height is (5/3) of the inner. Similarly, the outer radius is an enlargement of the inner radius and hence is 5/3 of the inner. Therefore, the radius of the top is (5/3 * 2.7) = 4.5

IF you still don't understand (as my explanation may be hard to understand), see this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/geometry/congruencysimilarityrev1.shtml and

No problem.. The plastic cup is the shaded part of the cone. It is the result of removing a section of the cone, giving the frustum shape, and leaving another cone. So the cup is really just the difference of the 2 cones. You subtract the smaller cone from the bigger cone to get the cup. Therefore the curved surface area for the cup is the difference between both curved surface areas.
I hope that clears it?

And in Q.4 last part i can't understand ... we use formula vol.discharge:crossarea×speed×time
but when i use pie(0.5)^2 i get ans. Wrong and when i only do 33000/1800 i get right ans.. why is that
