Answer:

The area of sheet required to make a cone would be equal to the curved surface area of the cone that is to be formed. So here we need to find the C.S.A. of a single cone and then multiply the same to arrive at the final answer.

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Question 11:

The slant height and base diameter of a conical tomb are 25 m and 14 m respectively. Find the cost of white-washing its curved surface at the rate of Rs 210 per 100 m2.

Answer:

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Curved Surface Area = πrl 

The base diameter is given as 14 m. Hence the base radius, r = 7 m.

Substituting the values of r = 7 m and l = 25 m in the above equation and using

Curved Surface Area =

=

=

The curved surface area of the conical tomb to be white-washed is 550 m2

The cost of white washing is given as Rs. 210 per 100 m2

This works out to Rs. 2.10 per m2

Total cost (T.C) of white washing the conical tomb is

T.C. = (Total area to be white-washed) (Cost per m2)

= (550) (2.10) 

= 1155

So the total cost of white-washing the given curved surface area is

l = 26 m

Hence the slant height of the given cone is

The amount of canvas required to make a cone would be equal to the curved surface area of the cone.

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Curved Surface Area =

Now, substituting the values of r = 24 m and slant height l = 26 m and using in the formula of C.S.A,

We get Curved Surface Area =

=

Therefore the Curved Surface Area of the cone is m2

The cost of the canvas is given as Rs. 70 per m2

The total cost of canvas= (Total curved surface area) (Cost per m2)

= (70)

= 137280

Hence the total amount required to construct the tent is

Question 13:

How many square metres of canvas is required for a conical tent whose height is 3.5 m and the radius of the base is 12 m?

Answer:

Given: Radius of conical tent (r) = 12 m
Height of conical tent (h) = 3.5 m

Slant height (l)=r2+h2=122+3.52=144+12.25=156.25=12.5 m

 Total Canvas required =πrl=227×12×12.5 =471.43 m2

Hence, 471.43 m2 of canvas is required for a conical tent.

Question 14:

What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make a conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6 m? Assume that the extra length of material will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20 cm (Use π = 3.14)

Answer:

The total amount of canvas required would be equal to the curved surface area of the cone.

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Curved Surface Area = πrl

It is given that the base radius r = 6 m and vertical height h = 8 m.

To find the slant height ‘l’ to be used in the formula for Curved Surface Area we use the following relation

Slant height, 

l =

=

=

=

l = 10 m

Now, substituting the values of r = 6 m and slant height l = 10 m and using π = 3.14 in the formula of C.S.A,

We get Curved Surface Area =

= 188.4

Hence the curved surface area of the cone is 188.4 m2

Now, the width of the canvas is 3 m.

Area of the canvas required = (Width of the canvas) (Length of the canvas)

Therefore,

Length of the canvas =

=

= 62.8

Length of canvas is 62.8 m. But we need to add another 20 cm of length for wastage.

20 cm = 0.2 m.

Hence the total amount of canvas length required is

Question 15:

A bus stop is barricated from the remaining part of the road, by using 50 hollow cones made of recycled card-board. Each cone has a base diameter of 40 cm and height 1 m. If the outer side of each of the cones is to be painted and the cost of painting is Rs 12 per m2. What will be the cost of painting all these cones. (Use π = 3.14 and 1.04=1.02)

Answer:

The area to be painted is the curved surface area of each cone.

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Curved Surface Area = πrl

For each cone, we’re given that the base diameter is 0.40 m.

Hence the base radius r = 0.20 m. The vertical height h = 1 m.

To find the slant height ‘l’ to be used in the formula for Curved Surface Area we use the following relation

Slant height, 

l =

=

=  

=

l = 1.02 m

Now, substituting the values of r = 0.2 m and slant height l = 1.02 m and using π = 3.14 in the formula of C.S.A,

We get Curved Surface Area =

= 0.64056 m2

This is the curved surface area of a single cone. Since we need to paint 50 such cones the total area to be painted is,

Total area to be painted = (0.64056) (50) 

= 32.028 m2

The cost of painting is given as Rs. 12 per m2

Hence the total cost of painting = (12) (32.028)

= 384.336

Hence, the total cost that would be incurred in painting is

Let the slant height of the cone be ‘l

The curved surface area of the cone =

The curved surface area of the cylinder =

It is said that the ratio of the curved surface areas of the cylinder to that of the cone is 8:5

So,

=

=

=

But we know that l =

Question 17:

A tent is in the form of a right circular cylinder surmounted by a cone. The diameter of cylinder is 24 m. The height of the cylindrical portion is 11 m while the vertex of the cone is 16 m above the ground. Find the area of the canvas required for the tent.

Answer:

The tent being in the form of a cone surmounted on a cylinder the total amount of canvas required would be equal to the sum of the curved surface areas of the cone and the cylinder.

The diameter of the cylinder is given as 24 m. Hence its radius, r = 12 m. The height of the cylinder, h = 11 m.

The curved surface area of a cylinder with radius ‘r’ and height ‘h’ is given by the formula

Curved Surface Area of the cylinder =

Substituting the values of r = 12 m and h = 11 m in the above equation

Curved Surface Area of the cylinder =

=

The vertex of the cone is given to be 16 m above the ground and the cone is surmounted on a cylinder of height 11 m, hence the vertical height of the cone is h = 5 m. The radius of the cone is the same as the radius of the cylinder and so base radius, r = 12 m.

To find the slant height ‘l’ to be used in the formula for Curved Surface Area we use the following relation

Slant height, l =

=

=

=

l = 13 m

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Curved Surface Area =

Substituting the values of r = 12 m and l = 13 m in the above equation

We get

Curved Surface Area of the cone =

=

Total curved surface area = Curved surface area of cone + curved surface area of cylinder

= +

=

=

= 1320

Thus the total area of canvas required is

Question 18:

A circus tent is cylindrical to a height of 3 metres and conical above it. If its diameter is 105 m and the slant height of the conical portion is 53 m, calculate the length of the canvas 5 m wide to make the required tent.

Answer:

We need to find out the total amount of canvas required to make the circus tent. The height of the cylindrical portion is given as h = 3 m, and the diameter is given as 105 m.

Hence the radius r = m.

The curved surface area of a cylinder with radius ‘r’ and height ‘h’ is given by the formula

Curved Surface Area of the cylinder =

Substituting the values of r = m and h = 3 m in the above equation

Curved Surface Area of the cylinder =

=

= (22) (15) (3) 

= 990

Hence the curved surface area of the cylinder is 990 m2

The slant height of the cone is l = 53 m. The base radius of the cone is the same as the radius of the cylinder and hence r =

The formula of the curved surface area of a cone with base radius ‘r’ and slant height ‘l’ is given as

Curved Surface Area = πrl 

Substituting the values of r = m and l = 53 m in the above equation

We get

Curved Surface Area of the cone =

= 8745

Hence the curved surface area of the cone is 8745 m2

Total curved surface area = Curved surface area of cone + curved surface area of cylinder

= 8745 + 990

= 9735

The total surface area of the tent is 9735 m2

Now, the width (or) breadth of the canvas is 5 m.

Area of the canvas required = (Breadth of the canvas) (Length of the canvas)

Therefore,

Length of the canvas =

=

= 1947

Hence the length of canvas required is

= 7546

Hence the volume of the given cone with the specified dimensions is
