Answer:

The area of tarpaulin is 1315.63 ft^2.  

Step-by-step explanation:

height, h = 20 feet

circumference, C = 102 feet

Let the radius is r.

Circumference, C = 2 x 3.14 x r = 102

r = 16.24 feet

Let the slant height is L.

[tex]L = \sqrt{h^2 + r^2}\\\\L = \sqrt{20^2 + 16.24^2}\\\\L = 25.8 ft[/tex]

The curved surface area is

S = 3.14 x r x L

S = 3.14 x 16.24 x 25.8 = 1315.63 ft^2
