A cone of 50 mm base radius and 100 mm slant height develops as a sector whose angle is

  • A.120 degrees
  • B.360 degrees
  • C.180 degrees
  • D.90 degrees

Answer: C

Correct answer: 180 degrees

\[ \theta = \frac{r}{L} \times 360 = \frac{50}{100} \times 360 = 180^\circ. \] When the slant height is twice the base radius the development is exactly a semicircle, which is a useful case to recognise - it corresponds to a half-angle of 30 degrees at the apex.
