Question

Q. What length of tarpaulin 3m wide will be required to
make conical tent of height 8m and base radius 6m?
Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for
stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, length of the trapaulin sheet required is 63m.

Answer 2

$\large{\mathcal{\underline{\:\:\:\:\:\:Solution\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:}}}$

Hight of conical tent,h=8 m

Radius of base of tent,r=6 m

Stant height of tent, $\sf{l^2=r^2+h^2}$

__________________________

$\sf{Here,}$

$\large\sf{l^2=(6^2+8^2)}$

$\large\sf{→l^2=(36+64)}$

$\large\sf{→l^2=100}$

$\large\sf{→l=√100}$

$\large\sf{→l=10}$

__________________________

$\sf{Again,}$

CSA of conical tent,

$\large\sf{πrl}$

$\large\sf{=3.14×6×10}$

$\large\sf{=188.4\:m^2}$

__________________________

Let the length of tarpaulin sheet required be L

As, 20 cm will be wasted,therefore,

Effective length will be (L - 0.2 m)

Effective length will be (L - 0.2 m)Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m (given)

_________________________

$\large\sf{Area\:of\:sheet\:=CSA\:of\:tent}$

$\large\sf{[(L-0.2)×3]=188.4}$

$\large\sf{L-0.2=\dfrac{188.4}{3}}$

$\large\sf{L-0.2=62.8}$

$\large\sf{L=62.8+0.2}$

$\large\sf{L=63}$

Therefore, the length of the tarpaulin required is 63 m.
