Question

I) Find the volume in terms of pie

ii) curved surface area in terms of pie

iii) capacity in litres (correct to nearest litre)

Answer 1

i) pi×4500 cm³

ii) pi×600 cm²

iii) 14 liters

Explanation:

in general : the diameter is 30 cm, the radius is half of that (15 cm)

i)

the volume of a cylinder is base area times height.

Vc = pi×r²×h = pi×15²×20 = pi×225×20 = pi×4500 cm³

ii)

similar to volume, the side "mantle" area of the cylinder is the circumference of the base area times height.

surface area of the cylinder mantle is

Scm = 2×pi×r×h = 2×pi×15×20 = pi×30×20 = pi×600 cm²

iii)

for this we need now to do the multiplication with pi and then convert the cm³ to liters.

1 liter = a cube of 10 cm side length = 10×10×10 = 1000 cm³

pi×4500 = 14137.17 cm³ = 14.13717 liters or rounded 14 liters
