Exercise 11.1
Assume π =
1. Diameter of the base of a cone is 10.5 cm and its slant height is 10 cm. Find its curved surface area.
2. Find the total surface area of a cone, if its slant height is 21 m and diameter of its base is 24 m.
3. Curved surface area of a cone is 308
(i) radius of the base and (ii) total surface area of the cone
4. 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 Rs. 70
5. What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6 m?
Note: Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20 cm (Use π = 3.14)
- Using given values to calculate value of slant height
- We find the value to be
m. - We know that the curved surface of tent is equal to
where l - slant height and r - radius. - Substituting the values
- We find curved surface of tent =
(Round off to one decimal place)m 2 - We have been given that 20 cm is wastage provision for the cloth.Let the length of the tarpaulin sheet required is L. Then, the effective length used for the tent is
m - We have been given: breadth of tarpaulin = 3m. We also know: Area of material sheet =
of the tent - Putting the values
- Upon equating we get L =
m - Thus, length of the required tarpaulin sheet will be 63 m.
6. 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
- The base radius (r) of the tent is =
m - We know that the curved surface of tent is equal to
where l - slant height and r - radius. - Substituting the values, we get:
m 2 - Using the cost of the wahitewashing per 100
, we can calculate the total cost.m 2 - We find the total cost to be Rs.
- Thus, we have found the desired answer.
7. A joker’s cap is in the form of a right circular cone of base radius 7 cm and height 24 cm. Find the area of the sheet required to make 10 such caps.
8. A bus stop is barricaded from the remaining part of the road, by using 50 hollow cones made of recycled cardboard. 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
