Question
Tepees were traditionally used by nomadic tribes who lived on the Great Plains of North America. They are cone-shaped dwellings and can be modelled as a cone, with vertex O, shown below. The cone has radius, \(r\), height, \(h\), and slant height, \(l\).
A model tepee is displayed at a Great Plains exhibition. The curved surface area of this tepee is covered by a piece of canvas that is \(39.27{\text{ }}{{\text{m}}^2}\), and has the shape of a semicircle, as shown in the following diagram.
Show that the slant height, \(l\), is \(5\) m, correct to the nearest metre.
(i) Find the circumference of the base of the cone.
(ii) Find the radius, \(r\), of the base.
(iii) Find the height, \(h\).
A company designs cone-shaped tents to resemble the traditional tepees.
These cone-shaped tents come in a range of sizes such that the sum of the diameter and the height is equal to 9.33 m.
Write down an expression for the height, \(h\), in terms of the radius, \(r\), of these cone-shaped tents.

These cone-shaped tents come in a range of sizes such that the sum of the diameter and the height is equal to 9.33 m.
Show that the volume of the tent, \(V\), can be written as
\[V = 3.11\pi {r^2} - \frac{2}{3}\pi {r^3}.\]
