The circumference of the base of a 10 m high conical tent is 44 m. Calculate the length of the canvas used in making the tent if width of the canvas is 2 m.
h = 24 cm l = 25 cm
l2 = r2 + h2
⇒ (25)2 = r2 + (24)2 ⇒ r = 7 cm
∴ Area of the metal sheet required = 2(rl)
= 600 cm2
A com cob, shaped somewhat like a cone, has the radius of its broadest end as 2.1 cm and length (height) as 20 cm. If each 1 cm2 of the surface of the cob carries an average of four grains, find how many grains you would find on the entire cob.
