Diameter of upper end of bucket = 30 cm
Diameter of lower end of bucket = 10 cm
Then, radius of upper end of bucket r1 = 30/2 = 15 cm
And, radius of lower end of bucket r2 = 10/2 = 5 cm
Height of bucket = 24 cm
Slant height of bucket = √(r2 - r1)² + h² = √(15 - 5)² + (24)² = √(10)² + (24)² = √100 + 576 = √676 = 26 cm
Area of metal sheet used to make bucket = π(r1 + r2)l + π(r2)² = π(15 + 5)26 + π(5)² = 520π + 25π = 545π cm²
Given cost of 100 sq cm metal sheet = Rs. 10
Cost of 545π cm² metal sheet = 545 × 3.14 × 10 / 100 = 171.13 Rs.
Cost of metal sheet used for making bucket = Rs. 171.13
