A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and radius of the cylindrical part are 3 m and 14 m respectively, and the total height of the tent is 13.5 m, find the area of the canvas required for making the tent, keeping a provision of 26 m^2 of canvas for stitching and wastage. Also, find the cost of the canvas to be purchased at the rate of ā¹ 500 per m^2.
This question is similar to Ex 12.1, 7 – Chapter 12 Class 10
Area of the canvas
= Curved surface area of cone + Curved surface area of the cylinder
Curved surface area of cone
Radius of cone = Radius of cylinder = r = 14 cm
Height of cone = h = Total height ā Height of cylinder
= 13.5 ā 3
= 10.5 m
Finding Slant Height
š = ā(ā^2+ š^2 )
š = ā(ćšš.šć^š+ ćššć^š )
š = ā(110.25+196)
š = ā306.25
š = 17.5 m
Now,
Curved surface area of the cone = ššš
= 22/7 Ć 14 Ć 17.5
= 22 Ć 2 Ć 17.5
= 770 m2
Curved surface area of the cylinder
Radius of cylinder = r = 14 m
Height of cylinder = h = 3 m
Curved surface area of cylinder = 2šrh
= 2 Ć šš/š Ć šš Ć š
= 2 Ć 22 Ć 2 Ć 3
= 264ć šć^š
Hence,
Area of the canvas
= Curved area of cone + Curved surface area of cylinder
= 770 + 264
= 1034 m2
Now, from questionā¦
Keeping a provision of 26 š^š of canvas for stitching and wastage. Also, find the cost of the canvas to be purchased at the rate of ā¹ 500 per š^2.
Total area of canvas to be purchased = 1034 + 26
= 1060 ć šć^š
Finding Cost
Cost of the canvas of the tent for 1ć šć^2 = Rs 500
Cost of the canvas of the tent for 1060ć šć^2 = 500 Ć 1060
= Rs 5,30,000
Hence,
Total cost = Rs 5,30,000
