Rachel, an engineering student, was asked to make a model shaped like a cylinder with
two cones attached at its two ends by using a thin aluminium sheet. The diameter of the
model is 3 cm and its length is 12 cm. If each cone has a height of 2 cm, find the volume
of air contained in the model that Rachel made. (Assume the outer and inner dimensions
of the model to be nearly the same.)

Diameter of the model = 3 cm.
Radius of two cones and cylinder = (3/2) cm = 1.5 cm.
Height of each cone = 2 cm.
Height of cylindrical portion = 12 - 4(2 * 2) = 8 cm.
Then,
Volume of air in model :
= π(1.5)² * 8 + 2 * (1/3) * π * (1.5)² * 2
= (22/7) * (1.5)² * [8 + 4/3]
= 22/7 * 2.25 * 28/3
= 1386/21
= 66 cm³
Volume of air contained in the model = 66 cm³
Hope it help!
Volume of Air Contained in Model
= Volume of Model
= Volume of Cylinder + Volume of 1st cone + Volume of 2nd Cone
= πr²h + 1/3πr²h + 1/3πr²h
= (π × r² × h) + (1/3 × π × r² × h) + (1/3 × π × r² × h)
= (22/7 × (3/2)² × h) + (1/3 × 22/7 × (3/2)² × h) + (1/3 × 22/7 × (3/2)² × h)
= (22/7 × 9/4 × h) + (1/3 × 22/7 × 9/4 × 2) + (1/3 × 22/7 × 9/4 × h)
= (198/28 × h) + (22/217 × 9/4 × h) + (22/21 × 9/4 × h)
= (198/28 × (12 - 4)) + (22/21 × 9/4 × 2) + (22/21 × 9/4 × 2)
= (198/28 × 8) + (22/21 × 9/4 × 2) + (22/21 × 9/4 × 2)
= (198/28 × 8) + (22/21 × 9/2 × 1) + (22/21 × 9/2 × 1)
= (198/28 × 8) + (22/21 × 9/2) + (22/21 × 9/2)
= (1584/28) + (198/42) + (198/42)
= (56.57) + (4.71) + (4.71)
= 65.99 cm³
≈ 66 cm³
