Question 12 Marks
A team of $10$ interns and $1$ professor from zoological department visited a forest, where they set up a conical tent for their accommodation. There they perform activities like planting saplings, yoga, cleaning lakes, testing the water for contaminants and pollutant levels and desilt the lake bed and also using the silt to strengthen bunds. Find the radius and height of the tent if the base area of tent is $154 \ cm^2$ and curved surface area of the tent is $396 \ cm ^2$.
Answer
View full question & answer→A tent is of conical shape Thus,
Base area $=\pi r^2=154 \ cm^2$
So, radius $r = 7 \ cm$
Curved surface area $=\pi r l=396 \ cm^2$
$396=3.14 \times 7 \times 1$
$\Rightarrow 1=18 \ cm$
Now, height $h=\sqrt{l^2-r^2}$
$=\sqrt{18^2-7^2}=16.5 \ cm$
Base area $=\pi r^2=154 \ cm^2$
So, radius $r = 7 \ cm$
Curved surface area $=\pi r l=396 \ cm^2$
$396=3.14 \times 7 \times 1$
$\Rightarrow 1=18 \ cm$
Now, height $h=\sqrt{l^2-r^2}$
$=\sqrt{18^2-7^2}=16.5 \ cm$
