(a)

Curved Surface Area = \(\pi rl\)

\(115.5 = \frac{22}{7} \times r \times 10.5\)

\(115.5 = 33r\)

\(r = \frac{115.5}{33} = 3.5 cm\)

(b)

\(\therefore h^{2} + (3.50)^{2} = (10.5)^{2}\)

\(h^{2} = 10.5^{2} - 3.5^{2}\)

\(h^{2} = 98 \implies h = \sqrt{98}\)

\(h = 9.8994 cm \approxeq 9.90 cm\)

(c) Volume of a cone = \(\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\)

= \(\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{22}{7} \times \frac{7}{2} \times \frac{7}{2} \times 9.90\)

= \(\frac{23.1 \times 11}{2}\)

= \(127.05 cm^{3} \approxeq 127 cm^{3}\)
