Q8 of 24 Page 227

The length of the base diameter of a wooden toy of the conical shape is 10cm. The expenditure for polishing the whole surfaces of the toy at the rate of 2.10 per m2 is 429. Let us calculate the height of the toy. Let us also determine the quantity of wood which is required to make the toy.

Let, whole surface area of the toy = x m2


According to problem,


x × 2.1 = 429


x = 429/2.1


x = 204.286


Base diameter of the toy = 10 cm


base radius of the toy, r = 10/2 = 5 cm


Let, slant height = l cm


According to problem,


πr2 + πrl = 204.286


22/7(52 + 5l) = 204.286


5l + 25 = 65


5l = 40


l = 8


slant height = 8 cm


height = √(l2 – r2)= √(82 – 52) = √(64 – 25) = 6.24 cm


Volume of the toy,


= πr2h/3


= 22/7 × 52 × 6.24/3


= 163.43 m3


Quantity of wood required to make the toy = 163.43 m3
