A tent is to be built in the form of a cylinder of radius 5 m surmounted by a cone of the same radius. If the height of the cylindrical part is 6 m and slant height of the conical part is 10 m, how much canvas will be required to build the tent? Allow 20% extra canvas for folding and stitching. (Take π = 22/7)
Radius of cone = Radius of cylinder = r = 5 m
Height of cylinder = h = 6 m
Slant height of cone = l = 10 m
Canvas required = Curved surface area of cylinder + Curved surface area of cone
= $$2 \pi r h + \pi r l = (\pi r) (2 h + l)$$
= $$(\frac{22}{7} \times 5) (2 \times 6 + 10)$$
= $$\frac{110}{7} \times 22 = 345.71$$ $$m^2$$
Also, 20% extra canvas is required for folding and stitching
$$\therefore$$ Total canvas required = $$\frac{120}{100} \times 345.71$$
= $$1.2 \times 345.71 \approx 414.86$$ $$m^2$$
