We calculate the volume of both packs.
Volume of square base can =l×b×h
=5×5×14 cm^3
=350 cm^3
Now, the volume of circular base can =πr^2h
=(22/7)×(3.5×3.5)×12 cm^3
=462 cm^3
It is quite clear that volume of circular base can is greater by
(462-350) cm^3.
=112 cm^3 [Answer]
Hope this helps. For more clarification or discussion please comment or message. Thanks!
