The circumference of the base of a cylindrical vessel is 132 cm and its height is 25 cm. How many litres of water can it hold? (1000 cm3 = 1l)
Let the radius of the cylindrical vessel be r
Height (h) of vessel = 25 cm
Circumference of vessel = 132 cm
2
r = 132 cm
r = (
)
= 21 cm
Volume of cylindrical vessel = πr2h
= 
* 21 * 21 * 25
= 34650 cm3
= (
) litres
= 34.65 litres
