A big soupcan have a circle base exactly like the figure above. If the gray area is 56 and the height of the soupcan is 30, find the volume of the soupcan

(Use π = 22 7 \pi = \frac{22}{7} )


The answer is 4620.

Area of circle = π r 2 \pi r^2
Area of square= ( 2 r ) 2 = 2 r 2 (\sqrt{2}r)^2=2r^2

Hence grey area= π r 2 2 r 2 \pi r^2 - 2r^2 =56 r 2 = 56 π 2 . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) \Rightarrow r^2=\dfrac{56}{\pi-2}........(1) Required volume= π r 2 h \pi r^2 h
= π ( 56 π 2 ) \pi(\dfrac{56}{\pi-2}) h ...(Using 1)

= 56 1 2 π × 30 \dfrac{56}{1-\frac{2}{\pi}}\times 30
Substituting π = 22 7 \pi=\dfrac{22}{7} , we get the desired answer i.e 4620 \boxed{4620}

Let's find the brown square size, assume the square size is x x

By using Pythagorean Theorem,

x 2 = r 2 + r 2 x^2 = r^2 + r^2

x 2 = 2 r 2 x^2 = 2r^2

x = r 2 x = r \sqrt {2}

From the picture, we can conclude that,

Gray area = = Circle area - Square Area

56 = π r 2 ( r 2 ) 2 56 = \pi r^2 - (r \sqrt {2})^2

56 = 22 7 r 2 2 r 2 56 = \frac {22}{7} r^2 - 2r^2

56 = 8 7 r 2 56 = \frac {8}{7} r^2

r 2 = 49 r^2 = 49

r = 7 r = 7

We have find the radius of the circle, now let's find the area of the circle

π r 2 = 22 7 × 7 2 = 154 \pi r^2 = \frac{22}{7} \times 7^2 = 154

Now find the volume of the soupcan

v = π r 2 × h v = \pi r^2 \times h

v = 154 × 30 v = 154 \times 30

v = 4620 v = \boxed{4620}

Which purple is the purple you mean when you say purple in the problem. Please change the square's colour by a few nanometers of wavelength so it contrasts more.

ohh, ok i'll edit it
