Solution

Let the depth of the bucket is h cm. The radii of the top and bottom circles of the frustum bucket are r₁ =20cm and r₂ =12cm respectively.

The volume/capacity of the bucket is

Given that the capacity of the bucket isCubic cm. Thus, we have

Hence, the height of the bucket is

The slant height of the bucket is

The surface area of the used metal sheet to make the bucket is

Hence
