Answer 1

Explanation:

Radius of the conical part = radius of cylindrical part r=

3

m

Slant height of the cone l=2.8 m

Height of the cylinder, h=2.1 m

Canvas needed to make the tent = Curved surface area of the conical part + curved surface area of the cylindrical part.

Curved surface area of conical part = πrl=

×2.1=19.8

Total surface area = Curved surface area of conical part + Curved surface area of cylindrical part

=13.2+19.8=33 m

Cost of 1 m

canvas = Rs. 500

Cost of 33 m

canvas =33×500=16500

Therefore, it will cost Rs. 16500 for making such a tent.
