Question

A tin has a radius of 3cm anf height 6cm. Find the volume, in litres of the liquid that will fill the tin to capacity, correct to 2 decimal places

Answer 1

The capacity of tin is 0.17 liter.

Explanation:

radius, r = 3 cm

height, h = 6 cm

The capacity of the tin is given by

`V =\pi r^2 h\\\\V =3.14 * 3* 3* 6\\\\V = 169.56 cm^3`

Now

1000 cubic cm = 1 liter

So, the capacity in liter is

V = 0.169 liter = 0.17 liter
