Class 9 | Chapter 13 | Surface areas and Volumes | Example 16

Example 16: Monica has a piece of canvas whose area is 551 m2. She uses it to have a conical tent made, with a base radius of 7 m. Assuming that all the stitching margins and the wastage incurred while cutting, amounts to approximately 1 m2, find the volume of the tent that can be made with it.

Cone – Volume

It is quite easy to remember the formula of a cone because it is exactly one-third of the volume of a cylinder with same base radius and height. Watch activity performed in the following video that will never let you forget the formula of volume of cone.

Volume of Cone = πr²h/3

Volume of Cone = 1/3 Volume of cylinder

r = base radius of cone, h = height of cone 

What is Area / Surface area / Volume

It is recommended to understand the core concept of area, surface area and volume before we attempt any question based on these concepts.
