Angle of deviation

The surface of the rotating cone is 30 cm² (with circle base), its surface area is 20 cm². Calculate the deviation of the side of this cone from the plane of the base.

Correct answer:

A =  60 °

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} S_1=30{\text{cm}}^2 \\ {S}_2=20{\text{cm}}^2 \\ {S}_1=S_2+\pi r^2 \\ r=\sqrt{(S_1-S_2)/\pi }=\sqrt{(30-20)/3.1416}\doteq 1.7841\text{cm} \\ {S}_2=\pi rs \\ s=S_2/(\pi \cdot r)=20/(3.1416\cdot 1.7841)\doteq 3.5682 \\ \cos A=r/s \\ A=\frac{180°}{\pi }\cdot \arccos (r/s)=\frac{180°}{\pi }\cdot \arccos (1.7841/3.5682)=60^{\circ }=60° \end{gathered}$$
