(c) For this question, you may find the following formulas, related to a cone, useful:

1
Volume = — (base area) × (perpendicular height)
3
Curved surface area = πr × (slant height)

A farmer constructs a storage tank as shown in the diagram below. The shape of the tank
consists of a cylindrical body of height 3.5 m and diameter 8 m, and a conical roof of
vertical height 1.2 m.

Use π = 3.14

(i) Calculate the slanted height, l, of the roof of the tank.
