Q7 of 24 Page 227

The base area of a right circular cone is 21m. and height is 14m. Let us calculate the expenditure to colour the curved surface at the rate of 1.50 per sq.m.

Let, base radius of the cone = r m


According to problem,


πr2 = 21


r2 = 21 ×7/22


r = 2.58


radius of the base = 2.58 m


Height of the cone = 14 m


slant height of the cone,


= √(2.582 + 142)


= √(6.66 + 196)


= 14.24 cm


curved surface area of the cone,


= πrl


= 22/7 × 2.58 × 14.24


= 115.47 sq. m


Expenditure to colour the curved surface area,


= 115.47 × 1.50


= Rs. 173.2
