Question 4
A conical tent is 10 m high and the radius of its base is 24 m. Find
(i) Slant height of the tent.
(ii) Cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if the cost of $1m^2$ canvas is Rs 70. $[Assume\pi =\frac{22}{7}]$

Answer 1

Let ABC be a conical tent.
Height (h) of the conical tent = 10 m
Radius (r) of conical tent = 24 m
Let the slant height of the tent be l.
In $△$ ABO,
$A{B}^2=A{O}^2+B{O}^2{l}^2=h^2+r^2=(10m{)}^2+(24m{)}^2=676m^2\therefore l=26m$
Therefore, the slant height of the tent is 26 m.
(ii)CSA of the tent = $\pi rl$
$=(\frac{22}{7}\times 24\times 26)m^2=\frac{13728}{7}{m}^2$
Cost of $1m^2$ canvas = Rs. 70
Cost of $\frac{13728}{7}{m}^{2}canvas=Rs.\frac{13728}{7}\times 70$
= Rs. 137280
