Fill in the blanks to make the correct statement.

Two cylinder A and B are formed by folding a rectangular sheets of dimensions 20cm 10cm along its length and also along its breadth respectively. Then volume of A is __________ of volume of B.

We have a rectangular sheet of dimension 20cm × 10cm


If we fold it along its length, which is 20cm,then the resultant figure


is a cylinder with height ,h = 10cm and


base circumference ,2πr = 20cm

r = cm


volume of the cylinder = πr2h


= π × × 10


= cm3 = v(say) (eq..i)


Again ,if we fold the rectangular sheet along its breadth ,which is 10cm ,the figure so obtained is a cylinder with height h = 20cm

And the base circumference 2πr = 10cm


r = =


volume of the cylinder = πr2h


= π × × 20


= cm3 = V(say) (….ii)


i.e. V = 2v


from eqs,(i) and (ii), we see that the volume of A is twice the volume of B.
