Ex 11.1, 6
The slant height and base diameter of a conical tomb are 25 m and 14 m respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs 210 per 100 m2.
Curved surface area of tomb = rl
Given slant height = l = 25m
Radius = 14/2 = 7m
Curved surface area of tomb = rl
= (22/7 7 25) m2
= (22 1 25) m2
= 550m2
Cost of whitewashing 100 m2 area = Rs 210
Cost of whitewashing 1 m2 area = Rs 1/100 210
Cost of whitewashing 550 m2 area = Rs 1/100 210 550
= Rs 1155
Therefore, the cost of whitewashing the tomb is Rs 1155
