    Given diameter of the conical tent, d = 20 m

    radius, r = d/2 = 20/2 = 10 m

    Slant height, = 42 m

    Curved surface area of the conical tent = πrl

    = (22/7)×10×42

    = 22×10×6

    = 1320 m2

    So the area of canvas required is 1320 m2.

    Since 10% of this area is used for folds and stitches, actual cloth needed = 1320+ 10% of 1320

    = 1320 + (10/100)×1320

    = 1320+132

    = 1452 m2

    Width of the cloth = 2m

    Length of the cloth = Area/width = 1452/2 = 726 m

    Cost of canvas = Rs.80 per metre.

    Total cost = 80×726 = Rs. 58080

    Hence the total cost of the canvas is Rs. 58080.
