In fig. 13.12, you see the frame of a lampshade. It is to be covered with a decorative cloth. The frame has a base diameter of 20 cm and height of 30 cm. A margin of 2.5 cm is to be given for folding it over the top and bottom of the frame. Find how much cloth is required for covering the lampshade. (Assume π = 22/7)

 

Solution:

Say h = height of the frame of lampshade, looks like cylindrical shape

r = radius

Total height is h = (2.5+30+2.5) cm = 35cm and

r = (20/2) cm = 10cm

Use curved surface area formula to find the cloth required for covering the lampshade which is 2πrh

= (2×(22/7)×10×35) cm2

= 2200 cm2

Hence, 2200 cm2 cloth is required for covering the lampshade.
