Radius of the cylindrical part of the tent (r) =105/2 m

Slant height (l) = 80 m

the total curved surface area of the tent

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} =\text{ }2\pi r\text{ }h\text{ }+\text{ }\pi rl  \\ =\text{ }\left( 2\text{ x }22/7\text{ x }105/2\text{ x }4 \right)\text{ }+\text{ }\left( 22/7\text{ x }105/2\text{ x }80 \right)  \\ =\text{ }1320\text{ }+\text{ }13200  \\ =\text{ }14520\text{ }{{m}^{2}}  \\ \end{array}\]

Width of canvas used = 1.5 m

Length of canvas = 14520/1.5 = 9680 m

Total cost of canvas at the rate of Rs 15 per meter = 9680 x 15 = Rs 145200
