Solution
Given: Radii (r1) = 14 cm, r2 = 6 cm, height (h) = 6 cm
Slant height of the frustum (l)
= `sqrt(h^2 + (r_1 - r_2)^2)`
= `sqrt(6^2 + (14 - 6)^2)`
= `sqrt(6^2 + 8^2)`
= `sqrt(36 + 64)`
= `sqrt(100)`
= 10 cm
Curved surface area of the frustum
= πl (r1 + r2)
= 3.14 × 10 (14 + 6)
= 3.14 × 10 × 20
= 628 cm2
∴ The curved surface area of the frustum is 628 cm2.

Find the total surface area of frustum, if its radii are 15 cm and 7 cm. Also, the slant height of the frustum is 14 cm.
Radii of the frustum = `square` cm and `square` cm
Slant height of the frustum = `square` cm
Total surface area = `π[(r_1^2 + r_2^2 + (r_1 + r_2)l]`
= `22/7 [square + square + (square + square) square]`
= `22/7 (square)`
= `square` cm2
Hence, the total surface area of the frustum is `square`.
