Question

a tin has asquare base whose sides measures 32 cm .the vertical sides are 50cm high.cake mixture is poured into the tin and leveled off at the 38 cm mark above the base


(i)the capacity of the tin


(ii)the volume of the cake mixture in the tin in cm^3

(iii)volume of the space unoccupied by the cake in cm^3

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) V = 51200 cubic cm

(b) V' = 38912 cubic cm

(c) V'' = V - V' = 12288 cubic cm

Step-by-step explanation:

side of the square base, s = 32 cm

height, h = 50 cm

height of cake mixture, h' = 38 cm

(a) The capacity of the tin is the volume.  

Capacity of tin, V =  s x s x h = 32 x 32 x 50 = 51200 cubic cm

(b) The volume of the cake mixture is

V' =  s x s x h'

V' = 32 x 32 x 38 = 38912 cubic cm

(c) Volume of unoccupied space is

V'' = V - V' = 51200 - 38912 = 12288 cubic cm
