Solution:  Let r m be the radius of the base , h m be the height and l m be the slant height of the cone . then, 

                 Circumference = 44 metres

Rightarrow                           2pi r=44Rightarrow 2 imes frac227 imes r= 44 Rightarrow r=7 metres

It is given that h=10 metre. 

herefore                            l^2=r^2+h^2Rightarrow l=sqrtr^2+h^2=sqrt49+100=12.2m

                   Surface area of the tent    =pi rl=frac227 imes 7 imes 12.2=268.4m^2

herefore          Area of the canvas used =268.4 m^2

It is given that the width of the canvas is 2 m . 

herefore                    Length of the canvas used    =fracAreawidth=frac268.42=134.2m
