Let R be the radius, and h be the height of the cylindrical portion.
Height of the building, R+h = 2R = D = internal diameter.
⇒ h = R.
Volume = Volume of cylindrical portion + Volume of hemispherical portion
⇒ πR²h + (4πR³/3)/2 = 880/21
⇒(22/7)(R²h + 2R³/3) = 880/21
⇒R²(h+2R/3) = 440/3
⇒R²(R+2R/3) = 440/3
⇒R³(5/3) = 440/3
⇒R³ = 88
∴R = 4.45 m
and Total Height of the building, = R+h = 2R = 8.9 m
