Question -

A tent of height 77 dm is in the form of a right circular cylinder of diameter 36 m and height 44 dm surmounted by a right circular cone. Find the cost of the canvas at Rs. 3.50 per m2



Answer -

Given,

Height of the tent =77 dm

Height of a surmountedcone = 44 dm

Height of theCylindrical Portion = Height of the tent тАУ Height of the surmounted Cone

= 77 тАУ 44

= 33 dm = 3.3 m

And, given diameter ofthe cylinder (d) = 36 m

So, its radius (r) ofthe cylinder =┬а36/2 = 18 m

LetтАЩs consider L asthe slant height of the cone.

Then, we know that

L2┬а= r2┬а+h2

L2┬а=182┬а+ 3.32

L2┬а=324 + 10.89

L2┬а= 334.89

L = 18.3 m

Thus, slant height ofthe cone (L) = 18.3 m

Now, the CurvedSurface area of the Cylinder (S1) = 2╧Аrh

S1┬а=2╧А (184.4) m2┬а

And, the CurvedSurface area of the cone (S2) = ╧АrL

S2┬а= ╧А├Ч 18 ├Ч 18.3 m2┬а

So, the total curvedsurface of the tent (S) = S1┬а+ S2

S = S1┬а+S2

S = (2╧А18 ├Ч┬а4.4)+ (╧А18 ├Ч┬а18.3)

S = 1533.08 m2

Hence, the totalCurved Surface Area (S) = 1533.08 m2

Next,

The cost of 1 m2┬аcanvas= Rs 3.50

So, 1533.08 m2┬аofcanvas will cost = Rs (3.50 x 1533.08)

= Rs 5365.8
