Question 11
The students of a Vidyalaya were asked to participate in a competition for making and decorating penholders in the shape of a cylinder with a base, using cardboard. Each penholder was to be of radius 3 cm and height 10.5 cm. The Vidyalaya was to supply the competitors with cardboard. If there were 35 competitors, how much cardboard was required to be bought for the competition? [ = 22/7]
Here the pen holder is open at the top, but covered at the bottom
Surface area of 1 penholder = Curved Surface area of cylinder with
+ Area of bottom circle with radius 3 cm
Radius (r) of the circular end of cylindrical penholder = 3 cm
Height (h) of penholder = 10.5 cm
Surface area of 1 penholder = Curved Surface area of cylinder with
+ Area of circle with radius 3 cm
= 2 rh + r2
= (2 22/7 3 10.5+22/7 (3)2) cm2
= (22/7 (2 3 10.5+(3)2)) cm2
= (22/7 (63+9)) cm2
= (22/7(72)) cm2
Area of cardboard required = Surface area of 35 penholder
= 35 (22/7 " " 72) cm2
= 5 (22" " 72) cm2
= 7920 cm2
Therefore, 7920 cm2 cardboard sheet will be bought.
