Question
A cylindrical tent has a conical top with dimension as shown in the figure. Calculate the total cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if the cost of canvas is र 50 per sq. m.
Solution
For cone
Base radius (r) = 8 m
Height (h) = 6m
= 10 m
∴ Curved surface area = πrl = π(8)(10) = 80π m2
For cylinder
Base radius (R) = 8 m Height (H) = 14 m
∴ Curved surface area = 2πRH = 2 ⋅ π ⋅ 8 ⋅ 14 = 224π m2 Total curved surface area = Curved surface area of the cone + Curved surface area of the cylinder
= 80π + 224π = 304π m2 = 304 x 3.14 m2 = 954.56 m2
∴ Cost of canvas = 954.56 x 50 = र 47728
