A soft drink is available in two packs: (i) A tin can with rectangular base of length 5 … . Which container has greater capacity and…
Answers:
Capacity of tin can = l x b x h = 5 x 4 x 15 cm3 = 300 cm3
Radius of the base of the plastic cylinder = 7/2 cm
Capacity of plastic cylinder = πr2h
= 22/7 x 7/2 x 7/2 x 10 cm = 385 cm3
Thus, the plastic cylinder has greater capacity by (385 cm3 – 300 cm3) = 85 cm3
