Ⲋⲟⳑⳙⲧⳕⲟⲛ :

We are given that a cylinder shaped bucket is used as a sand container . We have to find how much sand it can hold , which can be found by knowing the volume of cylindrical bucket .The volume of a cylinder is given by :


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad {\pmb{\sf {Volume = \pi r^2 h }}}

where,

  • π = 3.14
  • r = 0.5 feet
  • h = 2.5 feet


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf {V =\pi r^2 h }


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf { V = 3.14 * 0.5^2 * 2.5}


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf {V = 3.14* 0.5* 0.5* 2.5 }


\quad\dashrightarrow\quad \sf {V = 1.9625 }

‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ‎ㅤ~Hence, the bucket can hold 1.96 feet³ of sand!
