A heap of rice is in the form of a cone of diameter 12 m. and height 8 m. Find its volume? How much canvas cloth is required to cover the heap?
(use π = 3.14)
![]()

Given that, the diameter(d) of cone is 12 cm and heigh(h)t is 8 cm.
⇒ radius(r)![]()
And, Surface area of cone is - πrl
Also, volume of cone![]()
Also, slant height(l) = √ r2 + h2
⇒ l = √ 62 + 82
⇒ l = √ 36 + 64
⇒ l = √ 100
⇒ l = 10
⇒ volume of heap![]()
![]()
= 301.44 cm3
⇒ Surface area of cone = 3.14 × 6 × 10
= 188.4 cm2
⇒ ∴ canvas cloth required to cover the heap = 188.4 cm2
