Answer:

Explanation:

We would section the bread into a cuboid at the bottom and a semi cylinder at the top.

Considering the bottom, the formula for determining the volume of a cuboid is expressed as

Volume = length × width × height

Therefore,

Volume = 20 × 11 × 6 = 1320 cm³

Considering the semi cylinder,

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cylinder

h represents the height of the cylinder.

π = 3.14

Looking at the diagram,

Height = 20 cm

Diameter = 11 cm

Radius = diameter/2 = 11/2 = 5.5 cm

Since it is a semi cylinder, then

Volume = 1/2 × 3.14 × 5.5² × 20 = 949.85 cm³

Therefore, volume of this loaf of bread is

1320 + 949.85 = 2269.85 cm³
