Detailed Solution

Given that the diameter of the cone is 9 m and its height is 3.5 m.
We have to find the volume of the cone and the amount of canvas required to cover the heap, i.e., the curved surface area of the cone.
The volume of a circular cone is expressed as, V= 1 3 π r 2 h   , where r   be the radius of a circular cone.
The radius, r will be,
Question ImageThe slant height, l of the cone is,
Question ImageSo, the volume of the cone, V is,
Question ImageThus, the curved surface area, A of the cone is,
Question ImageThe volume of the cone and the canvas required to cover the heap of wheat is 74.18c m 3  and 80.54c m 2  .
Therefore, the correct option is 4.
