A tent of height $77 \mathrm{dm}$ is in the form of a right circular cylinder of diameter $36 \mathrm{~m}$ and height $44 \mathrm{dm}$ surmounted by a right circular cone. Find the cost of the canvas at Rs. $3.50$ per $m^{2}$
(Use $\pi=22 / 7$ ).
Given:
Height of the tent $\mathrm{h}=77 \mathrm{dm}=7.7 \mathrm{~m}$, diameter of cylinder $d=36 \mathrm{~m}$
Height of the cylinder h1 = 44 dm = 4.4 m, height of cone h2 = 33 dm = 3.3 m
We have the following diagram
Radius $r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{36}{2}=18 \mathrm{~m}$
The curved area $S_{1}$ of cylinder is given by
$S_{1}=2 \pi \mathrm{rh}=2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 18 \times 4.4$
$=497.82 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
The slant height of the cone is
$l=\sqrt{h^{2}+r^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{3 \cdot 3^{2}+18^{2}}$
$=\sqrt{334.89}$
$=18.3 \mathrm{~m}$
The curved area of the cone is given by
$S_{2}=\pi \mathrm{rl}=\frac{22}{7} \times 18 \times 18.3$
$=1035.25 \mathrm{~m}^{2}$
The total area of the canvas required is given as
S = S1 + S2
= 497.82 + 1035.25
=1533.07 m2
Therefore the cost of the canvas at the rate of Rs 3.5 per square meter is given by
$1533.07 \times 3.5$
$=R s 5365.745$
Hence the cost of the canvas is Rs 5365.745
