Algebra.Com's Answer #471797 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Volume of box = length*breadth*height \n" ); document.write( "Volume of box = 60*30*15 \n" ); document.write( "Volume of box = 27000cm^3 \n" ); document.write( "With one layer of cans laid 3 X 6 = 18 \n" ); document.write( "Breadth/3 = 30/3 = 10cm \n" ); document.write( "Length/6 = 60/6 = 10cm \n" ); document.write( "So cans have a diameter of 10cm \n" ); document.write( "and a radius of 5cm. \n" ); document.write( ".................... \n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = Pi*r^2*h \n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = Pi*5^2*15 \n" ); document.write( "Volume of cylinder = 1178.1cm^3 \n" ); document.write( "18 * 1178.1cm \n" ); document.write( "= 21205.8cm^3 (Occupied by cans) \n" ); document.write( "Vol. of box - Vol of 18 cans. \n" ); document.write( "27000 - 21205.8 = 5794.3 (Vol left free) \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
