Length of arc =
length of arc p = 110/360 (2*pi*70)
p= 1540/36 * pi
area of major arc = (140 *pi -(1540/36)*(pi))
= 97.2 *pi
The area of major arc is the circumference of the base of cone
97.2*pi = d *pi
d= 97.2
r = 48.6
Now the radius of the circle becomes the slant height of the cone
height of cone
height of cone =
height of cone = 50.37
we know radius and height angle of cone can be calculated
