Question 1 Report

A cylindrical container has a base radius of 14cm and height 18cm. How many litres of liquid can it hold? correct to the nearest litre [Take \(\pi = \frac{22}{7}\)]
Answer Details
The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula: V = πr2h, where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the cylinder. Substituting the given values, we have: V = π(14)2(18) V = 11088 cm3 To convert cm3 to litres, we divide by 1000: V = 11088/1000 V = 11.088 litres Rounding to the nearest litre, we get: V ≈ 11 litres Therefore, the answer is 11.
