Section-E
27) Case Study-
Once four friends Rahul, Arun, Ajay and Vijay went for a picnic at a hill station. Due to peak
season, they did not get a proper hotel in the city. The weather was fine so they decided to
make a conical tent at a park. They were carrying 300 m² cloth with them. As shown in the
figure they made the tent with height 10 m and diameter 14 m. The remaining cloth was used for
the floor .
(i) What was the slant height of the tent?
(a). 12 m (b) 12.2 m (c) 15 m (d) 17 m
(ii) How much Cloth was used for the floor?
(a). 31.6 m² (b) 16 m² (c) 10 m² (d) 20 m²
(iii) What was the volume of the tent?
(a). 300 m³ (b) 160 m³ (c) 513.3 m³ (d) 500 m³
(iv) What was the area of the floor?
