  1. (i) Length of the can, = 5 cm

    Width, b = 4 cm

    Height, h = 15 cm

    Volume of the can = lbh

    = 5×4×15

    = 300 cm3

    (ii) Diameter of the cylinder, d = 7 cm

    Radius, r = d/2 = 7/2 = 3.5 cm

    Height, h = 10 cm

    Volume of the cylinder, V = r2h

    = (22/7)×3.52×10

    = 385 cm3

    Difference of the volume = 385-300 = 85 cm3

    Hence the plastic cylinder has 85 cmmore volume than the tin can.
