Question

Assume that the shape of a tipi approximates a

cone. The surface area, S, in square metres, of
the walls of a tipi can be modelled by the
function S(r) = πr 36 + r 2 , where r
represents the radius of the base, in metres.

a) If a tipi has a radius of 5.2 m, what is the

minimum area of canvas required for the walls, to
the nearest square metre?

b) If you use 160 m2 of canvas to make the walls

for this tipi, what radius will you use?
