Soft Drink Is Available In Two Packs

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 cm

Thus, the plastic cylinder has greater capacity by (385 cm3 – 300 cm3) = 85 cm3
