Question

The length of canvas 1.1 m wide required to build a conical tent of height 14 m and the floor area 346.5 sq. m. is :


Options:
A .  490 m
B .  525 m
C .  665 m
D .  860 m
Answer: Option B

`pi r^2 = 346.5`

`rArr   r^2 = (346.5 xx 7/22) =  441/4`

`rArr   r^2 = 441/4`

`rArr    r = 21/2`

`:.`    `  l =  sqrt(r^2 + h^2) = sqrt(441/4 + (14)^2) = sqrt(1225/4) =  35/2`

So , area of canvas needed = `pi r l  = (22/7 xx 21/2 xx 35/2) m^2 = ((33 xx 35)/(2)) m^2`

`:.`       Length of canvas = `((35 xx 35)/(2 xx 1.1))`m = 525 m.
