Question

Monica has a piece of Canvas whose area is 551 m² . She uses it to have a conical tent made, with a base radius of 7m. Assuming that all the stitching margins and wastage incurred while cutting, amounts to approximately 1 m² . Find the volume of the tent that can be made with it.

Answer 1

Given that,

Area of canvas = 551 m² and area of the canvas lost in wastage is 1 m²

area of canvas available for making the tent is (551-1) m² = 550 m²

SA of tent = 550 m² required x base radius of conical tent = 7 m

CSA of tent = 550 m²
