Step-by-step solution
12 stepsQ. Cost of making a closed cone
Identify the given values.
Radius of base, m
Slant height, m
Rate of making = Rs. 10 per sq.mCalculate the total surface area (TSA) of the closed cone.
The formula for the total surface area of a closed cone is .
Calculate the total cost.
Total cost = TSA Rate
Using :
The cost of making the closed cone is or approximately .
Q.5. Solve any 1 out of 2.
- i) If then find .
Use the fundamental trigonometric identity.
$$ \sin^2 \phi + \cos^2 \phi = 1 $$Substitute the given value of .
$$ \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 + \cos^2 \phi = 1 $$ $$ \frac{1}{4} + \cos^2 \phi = 1 $$Solve for .
$$ \cos^2 \phi = 1 - \frac{1}{4} $$ $$ \cos^2 \phi = \frac{3}{4} $$Solve for .
$$ \cos \phi = \pm \sqrt{\frac{3}{4}} $$ $$ \cos \phi = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} $$ The value of $\cos \phi$ is $\boxed{\pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}$.- ii) In the adjoining figure, CD is a diameter of the circle with centre O. Diameter CD is perpendicular to chord AB at point E. Show that is an isosceles triangle.
Identify given information.
- CD is a diameter of the circle with centre O.
- CD is perpendicular to chord AB at point E. This means .
Apply circle theorems.
A perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord. Since CD passes through the centre O and is perpendicular to chord AB at E, E must be the midpoint of AB. Therefore, $AE = EB$.Consider triangles and .
- (from Step 2).
- (given that CD AB).
- is a common side to both triangles.
Prove congruence.
By the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence criterion, $\triangle CAE \cong \triangle CBE$.Conclude that is isosceles.
Since $\triangle CAE \cong \triangle CBE$, their corresponding parts are equal (CPCTC). Therefore, $CA = CB$. Since two sides of $\triangle ABC$ are equal ($CA = CB$), $\triangle ABC$ is an isosceles triangle.
