Due to heavy floods in a state, thousands were rendered homeless. 50 schools collectively offered to the state government to provide the place and the canvas for 1500 tents to be fixed by the governments and decided to share the whole expenditure equally. The lower part of each tent is cylindrical of base radius 2.8 cm and height 3.5 m, with conical upper part of same base radius but of height 2.1 m. If the canvas used to make the tents costs Rs. 120 per sq. m, find the amount shared by each school to set up the tents. What value is generated by the above problem? (Use π = 22/7)

Prove that the lengths of the tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.


Construction: Draw a circle centred at O.

Let PR and QR are tangent drawn from an external point R to the circle
touching at points P and Q respectively.

Join OR.

Proof:
In ΔOPR and ΔOQR,
OP=OQ     (Radii of the same circle)
∠OPR =∠OQR  (Since PR and QR are tangents to the circle)
OR=OR    (Common side)
increment OPR space approximately equal to space increment OQR space left parenthesis By space straight R. straight H. straight S right parenthesis
therefore space PR equals QR space space left parenthesis straight C. straight P. straight C. straight T right parenthesis
Thus, tangent drawn from an external point to a circle are equal
