The Canvas for a Tent

CBSE Class 10 · Solve it one decision at a time. A wrong pick earns a nudge, never the answer.

Step 1 of 4

The problem

A tent is in the shape of a cylinder surmounted by a cone. The cylindrical part and the cone have the same radius of 2.12.1 m. The height of the cylindrical part is 33 m and the height of the cone is 2.82.8 m. Find the cost of the canvas needed at ₹120 per m² (the tent has no floor). Use π=227\pi = \dfrac{22}{7}.

Step 1 · Your move

The cone needs its slant height ll. With radius 2.12.1 m and height 2.82.8 m, what is ll?
