A bucket is in the form of a frustum of a cone, its depth is 15 cm and the diameters of the top and the bottom are 56 cm and 42 cm respectively. Find how many litres of water can the bucket hold? (Take π = 227)
28.49 litres
R = 28 cm
r = 21 cm
h = 15 cm
Capacity of the bucket =
13πh(R2+r2+Rr)
=13×227×15×[(28)2+(21)2+ (28)(21)]cm3
=227×5×[784+441+588]cm3
=227×5×1813cm3
= 22 × 5 × 259 cm3
= 28490 cm3
=284901000 liters
= 28.49 liters
