Solution:

Given height of the cone, h = 24 cm

Radius, r = 7 cm

We know that l² = h²+r²

l² = 24²+7²

l² = 576+49

l² = 625

l = √625

l = 25

Curved surface area = rl

= (22/7)×7×25

= 22×25

= 550 cm²

So the area of the cloth required to make 10 such caps = 10×550 = 5500

Hence the area of the cloth required to make 10 caps is 5500 cm².
