What length of tarpaulin 3 m wide will be required to make conical tent of height 8 m and base radius 6 m? Assume that the extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is approximately 20 cm (Use
).
Solution:
Breadth of tarpaulin = 3 m
Height of conical tent
m
Radius of the base of conical tent
m
Slant height of conical tent
m
According to given condition, we have
Length of tarpaulin
breadth of tarpaulin = Curved Surface area of conical tent
length of tarpaulin
length of tarpaulin
Length of Tarpaulin
Length of Tarpaulin
m
Extra length of material that will be required for stitching margins and wastage in cutting is=20 cm
Length of tarpaulin required =62.8 m +20 cm=62.8 m+0.2 m=63 m
