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 ₹ 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 – Height of cylinder
= 13.5 – 3
= 10.5 m
Finding Slant Height
𝑙 = √(ℎ^2+ 𝑟^2 )
𝒍 = √(〖𝟏𝟎.𝟓〗^𝟐+ 〖𝟏𝟒〗^𝟐 )
𝑙 = √(110.25+196)
𝑙 = √306.25
𝒍 = 17.5 m
Now,
Curved surface area of the cone = 𝜋𝑟𝑙
= 22/7 × 14 × 17.5
= 22 × 2 × 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 = 2𝜋rh
= 2 × 𝟐𝟐/𝟕 × 𝟏𝟒 × 𝟑
= 2 × 22 × 2 × 3
= 264〖 𝒎〗^𝟐
Hence,
Area of the canvas
= Curved area of cone + Curved surface area of cylinder
= 770 + 264
= 1034 m2
Now, from question…
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 ₹ 500 per 𝑚^2.
Total area of canvas to be purchased = 1034 + 26
= 1060 〖 𝒎〗^𝟐
Finding Cost
Cost of the canvas of the tent for 1〖 𝑚〗^2 = Rs 500
Cost of the canvas of the tent for 1060〖 𝑚〗^2 = 500 × 1060
= Rs 5,30,000
Hence,
Total cost = Rs 5,30,000
