⇒ y3 = 1
⇒ y = 1
Therefore ,
Slant height(l) = 13y = 13m
Radius = 5y = 5m

Now the volume of the cone is given 2512cm3
⇒πr2h = 2512
⇒ ∗3.14∗5y2∗12y = 2512
⇒ y = 2
Therefore,
Slant height(l) = 13y = 13*2 = 26cm
Radius of cone = 5y = 5*2 = 10cm

Solution:
It is given that
Diameter of heap(d) = 9m
Therefore, Radius of the heap(r)

Height of the heap(h) = 3.5m
Therefore, Volume of the heap = πr2h
= ∗3.14∗4.52∗3.5
= 74.18m3
Now,
= 5.70m
Area to be covered by the cloth = Curved surface area of the heap
= πrl = 3.14*4.5*5.70 = 80.54 m3

Therefore, Volume of cone(V) = πr2h =
= *3.14*7*5*51 = 2618 cm3
Now it is given that 1 cm3 material weighs 10gm.
Therefore, 2618cm3
weighs = 2618*10 = 26180 grams.

Therefore Volume of cone(v) = πr2h
= ∗3.14∗6.32∗10 = 415.8cm3
Curved surface area of cone = πrl
= 3.14*6.3*11.819 = 234.01cm2

Height of the cone = ?
Now,
Volume of the cone(v) = πr2h = 9856 cm3

⇒ h = = 48cm
Therefore the height of the cone is 48cm
(b) It is given that
Radius of the cone(r) = 14cm
Height of the cone = 48cm
Slant height (l) = ?
Now we know that

Therefore the slant height of the cone is 50cm.
(c) Radius of the cone(r) = 14cm
Slant height of the cone(l) = 50cm
Curved surface area(C.S.A) = ?
Curved surface area of a cone (C.S.A) = πrl

Capacity of the pit = (38.5*1 )kilolitres = 38.5 kilolitres
Q15. Monica has a piece of Canvas whose area is 551m2. She uses it to have a conical tent made, with a base radius of 7m. Assuming that all the stitching margins and wastage incurred while cutting amounts to approximately 1 m2. Find the volume of the tent that can be made with it.
Solution:
It is given that:
Area of the canvas = 551m2
Area that is wasted = 1m2
Radius of tent = 7m , Volume of tent(v) = ?
Therefore the Area of available for making the tent = (551-1) = 550 m2
Surface area of tent = 550 m2
⇒ πrl = 550
⇒ l = = 25m
Slant height(l) = 25m
We know that,
l2 = r2+h2
252 = 72+h2
⇒ 625-49 = h2
⇒ 576 = h2
h = 24m
Height of the tent is 24m.
Now, volume of cone = πr2h
= ∗3.14∗72∗24 = 1232 m3
Therefore the volume of the conical tent is 1232 m3..
