Question

A powder is available in 2 packs a tin can with a square base of side 5 cm and height 12 cm and a can with circular base of radius 3.5 CM and of height 10 cm which of them has greater capacity and by how much

Answer 1

tin with circular base has greater capacity and by 85cm2

Answer 2

Circular base tin has more capacity of 85 cm³.

Given data :

Square base side = 5 cm

Height = 12 cm

Circular base radius = 3.5 cm

Height = 10cm

So,

Square base tin's capacity = {12×(5×5)} = (12×25) = 300 cm³

Circular base tin's capacity = {10×(π×3.5×3.5)} = (10×38.5) = 385 cm³

So, circular base tin's capacity is greater of = (385-300)= 85 cm³ (answer)
