Answer 1

The total cost of canvas required to make the tent at the rate of Rs. 15 per square meter is; Rs. 24,997

What is the area of a composite shape?

We are told that the bottom part of the tent house is a square cuboid up to a height of 10 m.

Thereafter, it is a pyramid.

Now, formula for volume of a cuboid is;

V = lwh

V = 20 * 20 * 10

V = 4000 m³

Formula for volume of a pyramid is;

V = lwh/3

V = (20 * 20 * h)/3

V = 400h/3

Total volume is 4800 of the entire tent house. Thus;

4000 + (400h/3) = 4800

400h/3 = 800

h = (800 * 3)/400

h = 6 m

Now, from online calculation, the surface area of the pyramid excluding the base is;

TSA_p = 466.48 m²

Total surface area of cuboid excluding the top is;

S.A = 1200 m²

Total surface area of canvas = 1200 + 466.48 = 1666.48 m²

Since cost per sq.m is Rs. 15 per m², then;

Total cost = 15 * 1666.48

Total Cost = Rs. 24,997
