Solution

Step 1 - Finding the slant height of the tent.

It is given that, radius of conical tent =24m and height of the conical tent =10m

Now, by the relation between the slant height, radius and height of the cone

l2=r2+h2l2=242+102l2=576+100l2=676l=676l=26m

Therefore the slant height of the cone is 26m.

Step 2 - Finding the cost of the canvas

To Find the cost of the canvas we need to find the curved surface area of the Cone.

Curved surface area of the cone =πrl

=227×24×26=137287m2

Cost of 1m2 canvas = 70

Therefore, the cost of 137287m2 canvas = 137287×70=137280

Hence, the cost of canvas of the conical tent 137280.
