Question

A soft drink is available in two packs--(i) A tin can with a rectangular base of length 5 cm and width 4 cm, having a height of 15 cm and (ii) a plastic cylinder with circular base of diameter 7 cm and height 10 cm. Which container has greater capacity and by how much?

Answer 1

hope it will help....

Answer 2

Answer:

Cylinder container has greater capacity by  85 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

Length of rectangular tin = 5 cm

Breadth of rectangular tin = 4 cm

Height of rectangular tin = 15 m

Volume of tin = $Length \times breadth \times height$

                      = $5 \times 4 \times 15$

                      = $300 cm^3$

2)

Diameter of cylinder = 7 cm

Radius of cylinder = $\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

Height of cylinder = 10 cm

Volume of cylinder = $\pi r^2 h$

                               = $\frac{22}{7} \times 3.5^2 \times 10$

                              = $385 cm^3$

Volume of cylinder > Volume of tin

Difference = 385 cubic cm - 300 cubic cm = 85 cubic cm

Hence Cylinder container has greater capacity by  85 cubic cm
