  1. Let the slant height of the cone be ‘l’ meters.

    height = 24 m

    diameter = 14 m or radius = 7 m.

    Then according to the question.

    l² = h² + r²

    l² = 24² + 7²

    l² = 576 + 49

    l² = 625

    l = √625

    l = 25 m

    ∴ the slant height of the cone is 25 m.

    Curved Surface Area of the cone = πrl

    = [22/7] × 7 × 25

    Curved Surface Area of the cone = 550 m²

    Now, length of the cloth used = Area/ width of the cloth

    = 550/5

    Length of the cloth used = 110 m

    Cost of cloth = Rs. 25 per meter

    Total cost of clothe used = 110 × 25

    ∴ Total cost of clothe used = Rs. 2750
