A tent has a cylindrical base with a conical top, the slant height of the conical part is 25 cm and the radius of the cylindrical base is 7 cm and the total height of the tent is 40 cm then what is the total volume of the tent?
A tent has a cylindrical base with a conical top, the slant height of the conical part is 25 cm and the radius of the cylindrical base is 7 cm and the total height of the tent is 40 cm then what is the total volume of the tent? Correct Answer 3696 cm<sup>3</sup>
Given:
Slant Height of Conical part (l) = 25 cm
Radius of the Cylindrical base (H) = 7 cm
Height of tent = 40 cm
Concept used:
As the conical top is over of the cylindrical base, the radius of both of them is equal
Formula Used:
Volume of Conical top = (1/3)(πr2h)
Volume of Cylindrical base = πr2H
Where:
r = radius of Conical top and Cylindrical base
h = height of Conical top
H = height of Cylindrical base
Calculations:

Applying Pythagoras Theorem in conical top,
l2 = h2 + r2
⇒ (25)2 = h2 + (7)2
⇒ h2 = (25)2 - (7)2
⇒ h2 = 625 – 49
⇒ h2 = 576
Taking square root both side
⇒ h = √576
⇒ h = 24
Height of Cylindrical base (H) = 40 – 24 = 16
Volume of Tent = (1/3)(πr2h) + πr2H
⇒ {(1/3) × (22/7) × (7)2 × 24} + {(22/7) × (7)2 × 16}
⇒ {(1/3) × (22/7) × 49 × 24} + {(22/7) × 49 × 16}
⇒ 1232 + 2464 = 3696
∴ The Volume of Tent is 3696 cm3
