Question 9

A heap of wheat is in the form of a cone whose diameter is 10.5 m and height is 3 m. Find its volume. The heap is to be covered by canvas to protect it from rain. Find the area of the canvas required.

Answer

Given,

Diameter of the conical heap (d) = 10.5 m

Radius of the conical heap (r) = Diameter2=10.52\dfrac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \dfrac{10.5}{2} = 5.25 m

Height of the conical heap (h) = 3 m

A heap of wheat is in the form of a cone whose diameter is 10.5 m and height is 3 m. Find its volume. The heap is to be covered by canvas to protect it from rain. Find the area of the canvas required. NCERT Class 9 Mathematics CBSE Solutions.

By formula,

Volume of the conical heap (V) = 13πr2h\dfrac{1}{3}πr^2h

Substituting values we get :

V=13×227×(5.25)2×3=13×227×27.5625×3=13×227×82.6875=1819.12521=86.625 m3V = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times (5.25)^2 \times 3 \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 27.5625 \times 3 \\[1em] = \dfrac{1}{3} \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 82.6875 \\[1em] = \dfrac{1819.125}{21} \\[1em] = \text{86.625 m}^3

By formula,

Slant height (l) = r2+h2\sqrt{r^2 + h^2}

Substituting values we get :

l=(5.25)2+(3)2=27.5625+9=36.5625=6.047 ml = \sqrt{(5.25)^2 + (3)^2} \\[1em] = \sqrt{27.5625 + 9} \\[1em] = \sqrt{36.5625} \\[1em] = 6.047 \text{ m}

The area of the canvas required to cover the heap of wheat (A) = Curved surface area of conical heap = πrl

Substituting values we get :

A=227×5.25×6.047=698.42857=99.775 m2.A = \dfrac{22}{7} \times 5.25 \times 6.047 \\[1em] = \dfrac{698.4285}{7} \\[1em] = 99.775 \text{ m}^2.

Hence, the volume of the conical heap is 86.625 m3 and the area of the canvas required is 99.775 m2.
