A conical tent is 10 m high and the radius of its base is 24 m. Find:
(i) slant height of the tent.
(ii) cost of the canvas required to make the tent, if the cost of 1 m2 canvas is र 70.
Let the height of the right circular cone be h cm. r = 56 cm Curved surface area = 12320 cm2 ⇒ πrl = 12320
⇒ (56)2 + h2 = (70)2
| Squaring both sides
⇒ h2 = (70)2 – (56)2
⇒ h2 = (70 – 56)(70 + 56)
⇒ h2 = (14)(126)
⇒ h2= (14)(14 x 9)
⇒ h = 14 x 3 = 42
| Extracting square root
Hence, the height of the right circular cone is 42 cm.
