Shanta runs an industry in a shed which is in the shape of a cuboid surmounted by a half cylinder (see Fig.). If the base of the shed is of dimension 7 m × 15 m, and the height of the cuboidal portion is 8 m, find the volume of air that the shed can hold. (Take π=227)
1128.75m3
Now, the length, breadth and height of the cuboid are 15 m, 7 m and 8 m, respectively.
Also, the diameter of the half cylinder is 7 m and its height is 15 m.
So, the required volume = volume of the cuboid +12 volume of the cylinder
= [15×7×8+12×227×72×72×15]m3=1128.75 m3
=1128.75m3
