By formula,

Curved surface area = πrl

12320=227×56×ll=12320×722×56l=862401232=70.\therefore 12320 = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 56 \times l \\[1em] \Rightarrow l = \dfrac{12320 \times 7}{22 \times 56} \\[1em] \Rightarrow l = \dfrac{86240}{1232} = 70.

We know that,

⇒ l2 = h2 + r2

⇒ 702 = h2 + 562

⇒ 4900 = h2 + 3136

⇒ h2 = 4900 - 3136

⇒ h2 = 1764

⇒ h = 1764\sqrt{1764} = 42 cm.

Hence, height of cone = 42 cm.
