Question

There are 2 containers – a cuboidal shaped and other cylindrical shaped. Dimensions of cuboidal container are 5 m X 4 m X 3 m, whereas radius of the base of cylindrical container is 1 m and its height is 7 m. Which container can hold more liquid and by how much? Express the difference in litres.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Cuboidal Container can hold more liquid by 38000 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Cuboidal Container

Dimensions = 5m X 4m X 3m

Volume = lbh =  5m X 4m X 3m = 60m^3

1m^3 = 1000 liters

60m^3 = 60*1000 = 60000 liters

Cylindrical Container

Radius = 1m

Height = 7m

Volume = πr^2h = 22/7*1*1*7 =22m^3

1m^3 = 1000 liters

22m^3 = 22*1000 = 22000 liters

Calculating the difference between the two = 60000 liters - 22000 liters = 38000 liters

Therefore , the Cuboidal Container can hold more liquid by 38000 liters
