Q7:
A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a conical top. If the height and diameter of the cylindrical part are $2.1$ m and $4$ m respectively, and the slant height of the top is $2.8$ m, find the area of the canvas used for making the tent. Also, find the cost of the canvas of the tent at the rate of $₹ 500$ per m$^2$. (Note that the base of the tent will not be covered with canvas.)

Solution :

Given:

  • Shape of the tent: A cylinder surmounted by a cone.
  • Height of the cylindrical part ($h_c$) = $2.1$ m.
  • Diameter of the cylindrical part ($d$) = $4$ m.
  • Slant height of the conical part ($l$) = $2.8$ m.
  • Rate of canvas = $₹ 500$ per m$^2$.

To Find:

  1. Total area of the canvas used for the tent.
  2. Total cost of the canvas.
h_c = 2.1m l = 2.8m d = 4m

Step 1: Determine the radius of the base.

Since the diameter of the cylindrical part is $4$ m, the radius ($r$) is half of the diameter.

$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$ m.

[Since the cone is mounted on the cylinder, the radius of the cone is also $r = 2$ m.]

Step 2: Calculate the surface area of the canvas.

The canvas covers the curved surface area of the cylinder and the curved surface area of the cone.

Formula for Curved Surface Area (CSA) of a cylinder = $2\pi rh_c$.

Formula for Curved Surface Area (CSA) of a cone = $\pi rl$.

Total Area ($A$) = $CSA_{cylinder} + CSA_{cone} = 2\pi rh_c + \pi rl = \pi r(2h_c + l)$.

Substituting the values ($r=2, h_c=2.1, l=2.8, \pi = \frac{22}{7}$):

$A = \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times (2 \times 2.1 + 2.8)$

$A = \frac{44}{7} \times (4.2 + 2.8)$

$A = \frac{44}{7} \times 7$

$A = 44$ m$^2$.

Step 3: Calculate the total cost of the canvas.

Cost = Total Area $\times$ Rate per m$^2$.

Cost = $44 \times 500$.

Cost = $22,000$.

Final Answer: The total area of the canvas used is $44$ m$^2$ and the total cost of the canvas is $₹ 22,000$.

Hi, I'm Ravi Shankar, a Mathematics educator with 10+ years of teaching experience. I help Class 10 students strengthen their concepts, improve application skills, and prepare systematically for important examinations. At this stage, simply knowing formulas isn't enough. Students need to recognise the appropriate method, interpret questions correctly, solve efficiently and avoid losing marks through preventable mistakes. My classes focus on: • Concept mastery • Algebra and functions • Geometry • Trigonometry • Statistics and probability • Application-based problems • Multi-step questions • Past-paper practice • Error analysis • Time management and exam strategy I use regular assessments to identify recurring mistakes and areas requiring additional attention. My approach: Concept → Application → Problem Solving → Exam Practice → Analysis The goal is to help students approach examinations with greater confidence, accuracy, and consistency. Book an introductory session to understand where your child currently stands and what needs to improve.
