From a solid cylinder of diameter 30 cm and height 20 cm, a cube of the largest possible volume is chiselled out. Find the volume of the cube.
---------------
If the diagonal of the cube is the diameter = 30 cm,
then the sides would be 30/sqrt(2) =~ 21.21 cm
That's more than the height, so the side length is the height = 20 cm
Vol = 20^3 = 8000 cc
