How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm3= 1L) (Assume π = 22/7)

Solution:

Circumference of the base of cylindrical vessel = 132 cm

Height of vessel, h = 25 cm

Let r be the radius of the cylindrical vessel.

Step 1: Find the radius of vessel

We know that, circumference of base = 2πr, so

2πr = 132 (given)

r = (132/(2 π))

r = 66×7/22 = 21

Radius is 21 cm

Step 2: Find the volume of vessel

Formula: Volume of cylindrical vessel = πr2h

= (22/7)×212×25

= 34650

Therefore, volume is 34650 cm3

Since, 1000 cm3 = 1L

So, Volume = 34650/1000 L= 34.65L

Therefore, vessel can hold 34.65 litres of water.
