A cone has a height of 14cm and its base has a radius of 7cm. If the cone is horizontally cut into two segments 5cm from the base, what would the surface area of the bottom segment be?

Total surface area of the bottom segment = 419.6876 sq. cm.

Explanation:

enter image source here
r1h1=r2h2
714=r29
r2=92

l1=(r1)2+(h1)2=72+142=75
Lateral surface area of bigger one =(π)r1l1=(227)775
=1545=344.3545

l2=(r2)2+(h2)2=(92)2+92=(92)5
Lateral surface area of smaller cone
=(π)r2l2
=22995722
=(89114)5=142.3098

Lateral surface area of the bottom segment
=344.3545142.3098=202.0447

Area of larger base =22777=154

Area of smaller base =2299722=89114=63.6429

Surface area of the bottom segment
=202.0447+154+63.6429=419.6876cm^2#
