A powder tin has a square base with side 8 cm and height 13 cm. Another is cylindrical with the radius of its base 7 cm and its height 15 cm.

Find the difference in their capacities.  open parentheses Use space straight pi space equals 22 over 7 close parentheses

Solution

For a powder tin with a square base
Side of the square base = 8 cm Height = 13 cm
∴ Volume (v1) = 8 x 8 x 13 = 832 cm3 For a cylindrical powder tin
Radius of the base (r) = 7 cm Height (h) =15 cm
∴ Volume (v2) = straight pir2h
equals 22 over 7 cross times left parenthesis 7 right parenthesis squared cross times 15 equals 2310 space cm cubed
∴ Difference in their capacities = v2 – v1 = 2310 – 832 = 1478 cm3.
